A lot has happened and it seemed like a good time to start a new post. We will be staying in 53 day orbits until the project has a full understanding of the risks that may or may not be associated with reducing the orbit period to 14 days per our previous plan.

Also still used quite a bit in numerical weather prediction. It's more modernized now in various respects - though even if it changes it's still called FORTRAN. So it carries on beyond the age of the dinosaurs, kind of like birds...
For Gerald - indeed FORTRAN can be pretty readily translated into IDL. The "I" index is representing one time step as part of a time series. We'd also have to check that the physical units of mass are consistent with however distance and time units are being specified. Maybe pure SI units would work OK. -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]
