Who the hell programs global Warming data sets in Fortran?
Fortran is old school…I would demand the numbers get plugged into an Matrix array in C++..
WTF? I must be missing something here bro..Sorry

A lot of these kinds of research programs are developed by scientists whose main focus is not programming at all, but they learned Fortran years ago in grad school and still use it because they can get results fairly quickly.

I know researchers who still use Fortran because it works, and they don’t see any reason to spend the time learning a more modern language when they have other more important things to work on.
