[gradsusr] How to read CMORPH data

[Bob Kuligowski - NOAA Federal]

Dear Marwan,

     The README file at 
ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/global_CMORPH/README.cmorph.8km_30minute 
contains a sample FORTRAN program that will read the data and perform a 
simple spatial aggregation.  Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough 
with Matlab to be of any help translating the FORTRAN code into 
something Matlab can use.  Even if you're not familiar with FORTRAN, the 
first part of this README file does a good job of describing the file 
contents.

     Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bob
