Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi Roderick- Sorry for the delay in responding. Pearson, Roderick R wrote:
Hello I am trying to convert output from the SARMAPS Air Quality Model (SAQM) to netcdf for IDV visualizations. What is the best netcdf convention to use? I am currently trying GDV. Could you please supply me with a sample .cdl file of this convention?How does one handle grid based data for IDV? The SAQM uses the same grid as my MM5 output. The data is calculated at a grid cell center that has it on lat lon coordinate.
We suggest using the CF 1.0 conventions: http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/eaton/cf-metadata/CF-1.0.html for gridded data. The IDV supports much of this convention for gridded data at the moment and we are working for full compliance.
