WERA Watt file

This is an example of a Watt file (Nice_watt_60_67.asc). It is an ASCII file which is generated by Make_Grid:

  1.000  1.000
LON(  1,  1)= 0.1381719 LAT(  1,  1)= 0.7635815
LON(  1,  2)= 0.1381719 LAT(  1,  2)= 0.7632674
LON(  1,  3)= 0.1381719 LAT(  1,  3)= 0.7629533
LON(  1,  4)= 0.1381719 LAT(  1,  4)= 0.7626391
.....
LON( 60, 64)= 0.1635784 LAT( 60, 64)= 0.7437911
LON( 60, 65)= 0.1635784 LAT( 60, 65)= 0.7434770
LON( 60, 66)= 0.1635784 LAT( 60, 66)= 0.7431628
LON( 60, 67)= 0.1635784 LAT( 60, 67)= 0.7428487

  1.000  1.000   
is the grid spacing in km in W-E and N-S direction

LON(  1,  1)= 0.1381719 LAT(  1,  1)= 0.7635815  
is the description of a grid point; LAT and LON in radian.

Keep only the lines describing grid points on land or in areas which fall 
dry, e.g. wadden areas (Watt is the German expression for wadden areas). 
Delete all lines describing grid points on the ocean.
