Vector Rotation - Fortran Code

SUBROUTINE C_FIELD_GEO_TO_MODEL (FIELD_X,
&                                 FIELD_Y)

!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! purpose: rotate a 2-d vector field from geographic to model coordinates
!          accounting for fact that vectors change orientation
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! algorithm : project geographic long/lat components onto
!             geographic cartesian x/y/z components, then
!             perform euler angle rotation about three axes obtaining
!             model cartesian x'''/y'''/z''' components, then
!             project model cartesian componets onto
!             model long/lat componets (sorry!)
!
! input :
!
! FIELD_X : x field on model grid but with geographic directions
! FIELD_Y : y field on model grid but with geographic directions
!
! output :
!
! FIELD_X : x field on model grid but with model directions
! FIELD_Y : y field on model grid but with model directions
