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.
I had recently downloaded version 2.0 of the netCDF data format, and was very impressed with the refinement in your documentation and software. All of the code had compiled and executed flawlessly on our Sun Sparcstation machines. Currently we use a variety of formats on our floor, and at the sugggestion of our Massachusetts office, decided to look into netCDF and a standard repository of all of our data. I was wondering if a newer version exists that may address the possibility of multiple header attributes. To clarify this, the exact example I am currently dealing with involves storing real-time acoustic data. Our data has broken up by Time, Band #, and Channel #: Data(Band, Channel, Time) I am able to implement main Header attributes easily using the Variables section, but in addition to any main header attributes, I need to express unique attributes which are related to each Band and each Channel. In other words, if I have 3 bands, and 4 channels per band, Ideally I would have 12 unique header records that are all realated under the main header/variable. Does this capability exist somewhere in netCDF, and I just haven't found it yet? In addition to the above question, this is also a request to be added to your mailing list. Keep up the good work! It is very much appreciated, and needed! Francis Wong, MS#1-11-1 Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) 1710 Goodridge Drive McLean, Virginia 22102 703-734-5561 email: wong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
