INTRODUCTION TO MODERN FORTRAN FOR THE EARTH SY...

This work provides a short getting started guide to Fortran 90 95. The main target audience
consists of newcomers to the field of numerical computation within Earth system sciences
(students  researchers or scientific programmers). Furthermore  readers accustomed to other
programming languages may also benefit from this work  by discovering how some programming
techniques they are familiar with map to Fortran 95. The main goal is to enable readers to
quickly start using Fortran 95 for writing useful programs. It also introduces a gradual
discussion of Input Output facilities relevant for Earth system sciences  from the simplest
ones to the more advanced netCDF library (which has become a de facto standard for handling the
massive datasets used within Earth system sciences). While related works already treat these
disciplines separately (each often providing much more information than needed by the beginning
practitioner)  the reader finds in this book a shorter guide which links them. Compared to
other books  this work provides a much more compact view of the language  while also placing
the language-elements in a more applied setting  by providing examples related to numerical
computing and more advanced Input Output facilities for Earth system sciences. Naturally  the
coverage of the programming language is relatively shallow  since many details are skipped.
However  many of these details can be learned gradually by the practitioner  after getting an
overview and some practice with the language through this book.
