d) VRMAX Maximum observed windspeed in knots (format 



FlO.l). 



e) PZRO Atmospheric pressure in millibars of the storm 



center (format FlO.l). 



(3) Card 5 



NT2 - Number of cards (max. 150) containing on each 

 TIMPOS, XPOS and YPOS (format I5) . 



(4) Card Group 4 



NT2 cards with each card containing values of 



a) TIMPOS The time in hours at which the hurricane 



position is recorded (format FlO.l). 



b) XPOS The x-coordinate in units of x,y space of 



the hurricane center (format FlO.l). 



c) YPOS The y-coordinate in units of x,y space of 



the hurricane center (format FlO.l). 



(5) Card Group 5 



GRID2 The fluid depth in fathoms relative to mean sea 

 level along each column, i=l,2..IM, is read with 

 a nested do-loop for j=l,2..JM (format 11F7.2). 

 The program will zero those values for even i+j 

 prior to computations. The depth data are posi- 

 tive numbers which the program converts to nega- 

 tive values (in meters) to be consistent with 

 the coordinate system. 



(6) Card Group 6 



S Tne values of the dimensionless scale factor relating 

 the (x,y) plane to the (Cn) plane are read along each 

 column, i=l,2..IM, with a nested do-loop for j=l,2..JM 

 (format 5E14.7). 



(7) Card Group 7 



DSDXI The values of the dimensionless scale factor, y, 

 transforming E, to S* are read with one value 

 per card for i=l,2..IM (format E14.7).
