If you use the "ctl" that Jennifer provides in a separate message you can
create fortran sequential binaries with lats4d:

  lats4d -i trmm.ctl -o trmm -format sequential  -v

If you want a flat binary, just use the "stream" format:

  lats4d -i trmm.ctl -o trmm -format stream  -v

If you would like a nice summary of the dataset enter

  lats4d -i trmm.ctl -format stats -v
