    !---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    !  The array C contains the Tau coefficient. It is structured
    !  with Pos_Index and n_Predictors, as the following,
    !    For channel l and component j,
    !      Pos_Index(j, l) is the starting position in array C for that 
    !            channel and component, and
    !      n_Predictors(j, l) is the number of predictors for that channel
    !            and component.
    !  The size of the coefficient data at j and l is given by
    !     Pos_Index(j+1, l) - Pos_Index(j, l)
    !  and the sub-structure of the data at j and l depends on the algorithm. The
    !  following is an example of the sub-structure:
    !    As the number layers is fixed and known for all channels and components,
    !    the positions of the coeffs for a particular layer are known. Let i be the 
    !    index to the array C for channel l, component j, layer k and coefficient m, 
    !    then
    !       i = Pos_Index(j, l) + (m-1)*n_Predictors(j, l) + k
    !    Thus, accessing C(i) is equivalent to that given by C(m, k, j, l) if C is 
    !    a 4-D array.
    !
    !    Notice: the value of n_Predictors(j, l) can be zero, which means the 
    !            coeff data for j, l does not exist. Thus, this value should
    !            be checked before accessing C.

! COMMENTS:
!       Note the INTENT on the output ODPS argument is IN OUT rather than
!       just OUT. This is necessary because the argument may be defined upon
!       input. To prevent memory leaks, the IN OUT INTENT is a must.

! OUTPUT ARGUMENTS:
!       ODPS1:         The concatenated ODPS structure. The order of

!       Message_Log:   Character string specifying a filename in which any
!                      messages will be logged. If not specified, or if an
!                      error occurs opening the log file, the default action
!                      is to output messages to standard output.

! OPTIONAL OUTPUT ARGUMENTS:

!                      System Id field for the module.
!                      UNITS:      N/A

!                      ATTRIBUTES: OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT)

! FUNCTION RESULT:
!       Error_Status:  The return value is an integer defining the error status.
!                      The error codes are defined in the Message_Handler module.
!                      If == SUCCESS the structure concatenation was successful
!                         == FAILURE an error occurred
!                      UNITS:      N/A
!                      TYPE:       INTEGER
!                      DIMENSION:  Scalar
!
! SIDE EFFECTS:
!       The input ODPS1 argument contains the concatenated structure
!       data (in character-speak: ODPS1//ODPS2) on output. It is
!       reallocated within this routine so if an error occurs during the
!       reallocation, the contents of the input ODPS1 structure will
!       be lost.
!
!       Because of the structure reallocation there is a potential that 
!       available memory will become fragmented. Use this routine in a
!       manner that will minimise this effect (e.g. destroying structures or
!       allocatable arrays in the opposite order in which they were created).

! OUTPUT ARGUMENTS:

!                      error occurs opening the log file, the default action
!                      is to output messages to standard output.

! OPTIONAL OUTPUT ARGUMENTS:

! FUNCTION RESULT:
!       Error_Status:  The return value is an integer defining the error status.
!                      The error codes are defined in the Message_Handler module.
!                      If == SUCCESS the structure concatenation was successful
!                         == FAILURE an error occurred.
!                      UNITS:      N/A
!                      TYPE:       INTEGER
!                      DIMENSION:  Scalar
!
! SIDE EFFECTS:
!       The input ODPS1 argument contains the concatenated structure
!       data (in character-speak: ODPS1//ODPS2) on output. It is
!       reallocated within this routine so if an error occurs during the
!       reallocation, the contents of the input ODPS1 structure will
!       be lost.
!
!       Because of the structure reallocation there is a potential that 
!       available memory will become fragmented. Use this routine in a
!       manner that will minimise this effect (e.g. destroying structures or
!       allocatable arrays in the opposite order in which they were created).

!                      the smallest possible increment or decrement that can be

! FUNCTION RESULT:
!       Error_Status:  The return value is an integer defining the error status.
!                      The error codes are defined in the Message_Handler module.
!                      If == SUCCESS the structures were equal
!                         == FAILURE - an error occurred, or
!                                    - the structures were different.

!
! COMMENTS:
!       Congruency of the structure data is a prerequisite of equality.
!       That is, the *order* of the data is important. For example, if
!       two structures contain the same absorber information, but in a
!       different order, the structures are not considered equal.

!       ODPS:    ODPS structure for which the scalar members have
!                    been cleared.
!                    UNITS:      N/A
!                    TYPE:       ODPS_type
!                    DIMENSION:  Scalar
!                    ATTRIBUTES: INTENT(IN OUT)
!
! COMMENTS:
!       Note the INTENT on the output ODPS argument is IN OUT rather than
!       just OUT. This is necessary because the argument may be defined upon
!       input. To prevent memory leaks, the IN OUT INTENT is a must.
