The above warning messages are not serious. They merely indicate that
the Fortran netCDF subroutines NCAPT and NCVPT are being called with
different type data for variables of different types.  This is necessary
with the netCDF-2 interface, because there is only one interface
provided for writing numeric data of INTEGER*1, INTEGER*2, INTEGER,
REAL, or DOUBLE types.  So if you write data to an integer variable
using NCVPT in one part of the program and to a floating-point variable
using NCVPT in another part of the program, scrupulous Fortran compilers
will emit a warning, in case this was an error.

If you used the netCDF-3 Fortran interfaces instead, there would be no
warnings, because all the interfaces are type-safe.  To write an array
of integer values, for example, you would call the function

  NF_PUT_VARA_INT(...)

but to write an array of REAL values, you would call a different
function

  NF_PUT_VARA_REAL(...)
