I mistakenly sent the following message to netcdfgroup-adm@unidata.ucar.edu.
I hereby send it to the correct netcdf mailing
list address netcdfgroup@unidata.ucar.edu.
I just completed the installation of netCDF on a HP9000/720 machine
(see another mail message that I just sent).
I have a few questions that I would like to have answered:
1) I see that a network server for netCDF is planned (section 1.6 on p. 11
in the netcDF User's Guide). Has the date of the release of such a server
been fixed? Has a design draft been distributed? Will it support TCP/IP?
2) I tested the _FillValue attribute and did not see any effect
(the value of unwritten variables was unchanged).
Has the _FillValue feature, as the documented in the User's Guide,
not yet been implemented in version 2.02 of netCDF?
3) I am planning to use netCDF for the storage of one-dimensional time-series
(water level, river discharge, temperature and other hydrological
and meteorological variables). Are you aware of somebody else
that uses netCDF for that purpose? I am particularly interested
in the representation of the time coordinate of evenly and unevenly
sampled time-series.
best wishes,
