! !MODULE: POP_KindsMod
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
!  This module defines default numerical data types for all common data
!  types like integer, character, logical, real4 and real8.
!
! !USERDOC:
!  Users should not need to adjust anything in this module.  If various
!  character strings like long paths to files exceed the default
!  character length, the default value may be increased.
!
! !REFDOC:
!  This module is supplied to provide consistent data representation
!  across machine architectures.  It is meant to replace the old
!  Fortran double precision and real *X declarations that were
!  implementation-specific.
!  Users should not need to adjust anything in this module.  If various
!  character strings like long paths to files exceed the default
!  character length, the default value may be increased.
