Binary Reader

This script is capable of reading recursively a bunch of .dat files in binary format and generate a new 3-Dimensional structure containing the data associate to different particles.
The data is organized into n-layers of the following 2-Dimensional structure:

	1								...	31
	0	3	6	9	12	15	18	21	...	0	3	6	9	12	15	18	21
lon									...
lat									...
h									...
qvi									...
theta									...

Where each of the 2-Dimensional structures represents the data associated to an unique particle, the columns are organized into 8 steps during each day of the month (gives a total of 248 time steps). And each one of the rows represent an attibute of the particle at specific moment.

Input

• (Required) dirName: Path of the directory that contains the files and path to save the output files (cell array)

Output (13 files)

• log file: File that contains the list of property processed .dat files and the errors.
• [Month-Name].nc file: Files that contain a 3-Dimensional structure with the rearranged data read from the .dat files.

Function invocation

Reads all the .dat files from SOURCE_PATH and generates rearranged the data into a single 3-Dimensional structure

binary_reader({'SOURCE_PATH','SAVE_PATH'})
