CAM3 Column Outputs:
Model column coordinates versus Actual site coordinates


We output the model column closest to the desired location.
For example, the Oklahoma ARM site is located at 97.5W_36.4N
The model column closest to the ARM site is 98.4W_37.67N

To retrieve the model column coordinates, use the variables of the dataset:
              double 36.4N(36.4N) ; 
                36.4N:long_name = "latitude" ;
                36.4N:units = "degrees_north" ;
              double 97.5W(97.5W) ;
                97.5W:long_name = "longitude" ;
                97.5W:units = "degrees_east" ;
               
The ncdump command will return the model column latitude and longitude
              ncdump -v 36.4N, 97.5W eul64x128_amip-97.5W_36.4N.2000.nc
