ORBFIL C193 Along-orbit full profiles [no output]
RESFIL C193 Residual spectra [no output]
RSMFIL C193 Morse Resume file[1] morse.rsm
RTVFIL C193 Along-orbit Retrieved profiles[1] morse.rtv
STTFIL C193 Retrieval statistics [no output]
SWPFIL C193 Sweep diagnostics [no output]

Notes
  1. Apart from morse.log, only the morse.rtv file is written by default, while morse.rsm is written if the RSM Flag is set. Other output files are created by assigning names using this section (including re-assigning the names of the .rtv and .rsm files).

  2. The OUTDIR value (a trailing '/' character is added if it is not supplied) simply added to the start of all the output filename strings, so what works and what doesn't depends slightly on the operating system. Used on its own, it will simply redirect the standard MORSE output files to a different directory.

  3. The module outcom_dat.f90 contains the default and assigned output filenames.

  4. This section cannot be used to change the name or location of the log file, which is always morse.log, written in the current directory (the reason being that this file is opened before the driver table is read — see module morse.f90 if you really do need to change it).

  5. Output file names can contain tokens, eg #YMD and #ORB (upper case) which will be expanded to the 8-digit date, eg '20181208', and 5-digit orbit number eg, '05234' in the output filenames.
