This code is for converting an IPCC climate file into an ASC file for
use as a layer in GARP. IPCC data is stored in a file which has data
organized by months. This actor processes that data to return file(s)
that are seasonal (fall, winter, summer, or spring) and/or annual
The 'outputPeriod' parameter sets the season.
Minimum, maximum, or average values can be placed in the output file.
The type of values is set with the 'outputType' parameter
If the 'baseOutputFileName' parameter is left empty, the resulting output
file is placed in the same directory as the input IPCC file, with some
text added to the filename to indicate its type and period.
Otherwise, the text in 'baseOutputFileName' is assumed to be the base for
the output file path (and text indicating type and period is added). This allows
the output to be sent to arbitrary local locations.
In any case, the resulting output is an ASC grid filename.

Version:
input
The input port is given the file name of the IPCC data source for climate
data.
output
The output port is an ASC grid filename.
outputType
A string determining the output 'type' which has a value of
'minimum', 'maximum', or 'average'. These types refer to the value
selected over the outputPeriod parameter
outputPeriod
A string determining the output 'period' which has a value of
annual, fall, winter, summer, or spring
baseOutputFileName
If the 'baseOutputFileName' parameter is left empty, the resulting output
file is placed in the same directory as the input IPCC file, with some
text added to the filename to indicate its type and period.
Otherwise, the text in 'baseOutputFileName' is assumed to be the base for
the output file path (and text indicating type and period is added). This allows
the output to be sent to arbitrary local locations.
