Description

Some routines will work faster if the Fortran routine was converted to a 1D routine (e.g. WSPD and WDIR). This should be done before moving the Fortran code to the new libnclcomp.

Research direction

Start by locating the Fortran implementations of WSPD and WDIR and review how their array dimensions are defined. Then inspect the planned move to libnclcomp and identify which other routines are applicable. Done means the selected routines use 1D forms and remain compatible with the migration.
