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-I have a bunch of netCDF files and I want to quickly determine whether they are grids, trajectories, or point features. For grids, I've been using GridDataset gds = GridDataset.open(path) and catch the exception if it's not a grid, but for a 3.3 GB file, that can take 2 minutes (or longer) to open and create the dataset if it is a grid. I was wondering if there's a quicker method of determining the feature type of a netCDF file.
Thanks for your help. Don -- Don Murray NOAA/ESRL/PSD and CIRES 303-497-3596 http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/people/don.murray/
