asc2clm.1

     NAME
          asc2clm - convert ARC/Info ASCII files to clm data files for
          LPJmL

     SYNOPSIS
          asc2clm [-h] [-f] [-firstyear y] [-grid file] [-nbands n]
          [-scale s] ascfile ... clmfile [gridfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          Program converts ARC/Info ASCII (plain text) input data
          files into LPJ climate data file.

     OPTIONS
          -h   display a short help text

          -f   force overwrite of existing CLM file

          -firstyear y
               set first simulation year in CLM file, default is 1901

          -grid file
               write LPJ grid file

          -nbands n
               set number of bands of CLM file, default is 12

          -header s
               set header string of CLM file, default is LPJCLIM

          -scale s
               scale data by a factor

          ascfile
               filename(s) of ARC/info ASCII data

          clmfile
               filename of clm data file written

     EXAMPLES
     data by 10:
          Create clm data and grid file from ARC/Info dataset and scale
               asc2clm -grid grid.clm -scale 10 tmp_1901_*.asc
               tmp_1901.clm

     EXIT STATUS
          asc2clm returns a zero exit status if the clm file is
          created.  Non zero is returned in case of failure.
