Example 2. Referring to a Single Dimension, Applied to Multiple Dimensions

Reconsider the previous example, where the measured uncertainties in the pressure levels now vary over spatial location and time, but are the same for each wind component. The uncertainties are specified in an array, U, with the dimensions of $6 \times 91 \times 72 \times 31$ (i.e., pressure, latitude, longitude, day of month). If the indices start numbering from 0, then we have the following auxiliary record fields:

OBJDESC.
NAUX = 1
AUXSPEC.
RECSORT = 0
NUMREF = 1
NUMAPP = 4
START = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
END = (-1, -1, -1, -1, -1)
AUXFMT = single precision floating-point
AUXTYPE = measured uncertainty
UNITS = mb
NUMSUP = 0
AUXRANGE.
RECSORT = 0
REFLEV = 1
REFNDEX = 2
APPLEV = (1, 1, 1, 2)
APPNDEX = (3, 2, 1, 0)
AUXVAL.
RECSORT = 0
AVALS = U(6, 91, 72, 31)
