The latest version of CMOR is now available.  This fortran code should
be used to prepare model output that will be conributed to the PCMDI
database. The database serves as the official archive for IPCC
simulations (as well as AMIP, CMIP, AIEMIP, and other "MIP"
simulations).

You should obtain CMOR through our anonymous ftp site as follows:

	ftp sprite.llnl.gov
	anonymous
	<email address>
	cd pub/ktaylor/CMOR
	binary
	get cmor.tar.gz

You will also need the CMOR input files for your project.  For
example,

	get IPCC_cmor_tables.tar.gz

Then, after gunzipping and extracting the files from the tars, you
should read the file named "INSTALL" (in the CMOR directory).  This
tells you how to create the library.  As explained in the INSTALL
file, you can compile the test codes called ipcc_test_code.f90 and
test_region.f90, which are in the Test subdirectory.  Then run the
executables (ipcc_test_code and test_region).  If you have problems
with any of this, please contact Charles Doutriaux
(doutriaux1@llnl.gov).  If you need to alter the make file (or the
compile file), other than changing paths, please send us a copy of
what you had to do, so we can save others from repeating your work.
If you are able to compile successfully, but CMOR returns an error
message on execution, you should contact Karl Taylor
(taylor13@llnl.gov).  We have run ipcc_test_code and many other test
codes on 5 different platforms: SGI, linux (PGI compiler), HP-UX, IBM
(AIX-xlf), and SUN (OS-5.8)..

Documentation of CMOR itself (cmor_users_guide.pdf) is found in the
Doc subdirectory included in the tar file. There is a sample code
(very similar to ipcc_test_code.f90) listed as an appendix in the
documentation.  This should help you to write a code for converting
your data to CF-compliant data, as required for IPCC and other MIP
submissions.

Please let me know if you uncover any suspected bugs, or if you have
suggestions or need further clarification.
