Format of previous SURF.DAT file
(Used only if LPREV = T
(INFORM) Default: 2 ! INFORM = 2 !
1 = Unformatted
2 = Formatted
Format of output SURF.DAT FILE
(IOFORM) Default: 2 ! IOFORM = 2 !
1 = Unformatted
2 = Formatted
(IOPACK) Default: 0 ! IOPACK = 0 !
0 = NOT packed
1 = Packed (used only if IOFORM = 1)
Type of ALL Surface Station files in this run
(JDAT) No Default ! JDAT = 2 !

8 = GENERIC (.CSV format - see "sample_generic.csv")
Format of input HUSWO file
(Used only if JDAT = 3)
(IHUSWO) Default: 1 ! IHUSWO = 1 !
1 = All data are in English units
2 = All data are in Metric units
Calculate missing station pressure from altimeter or sea level
pressure

!END!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INPUT GROUP: 2 -- Stations used from previous SURF.DAT file
---------------
Data for the following NBSTN stations in the previous SURF.DAT
file identified as PREV.DAT are transferred to the new SURF.DAT
file created in this run. Enter NBSTN lines identifying the
station number (IBSTN) for each, followed by a group terminator.
This Input Group is used only if LPREV=T and NBSTN>0. All stations
from a previous SURF.DAT file are transferred to the new SURF.DAT
file if NBSTA=0.
