Variable-length types Uses: • Ragged arrays • Modeling relational tables • Nested with compound types for in situ observational data (profiles, soundings, time series) • Example: observations along ocean tracks – each track has an ID, a description, and a variable-length list of profiles • each profile has a latitude, longitude, time, and a variable-length list of observations – each observation records pressure, temperature, and salinity at various depths
Compound types Uses include: • Representing vector quantities like wind • Bundling multiple in situ observations together (profiles, soundings) • Modeling relational database tuples • Providing containers for related values of other user-defined types (strings, enums, ...) • Representing C structures, Fortran derived types portably
