Hello
I'm in the process of re-writing the output routines of a ocean model
from NetCDF3 to NetCDF4.
As part of my efforts I would like to see if I'm actually storing data
in my .nc file. Usually I use ncdump for that purpose but with NetCDF4 I
get:
kbk@orca:~/getm-setups/v1.6.x/haidvogel$ /opt/netcdf4/bin/ncdump getm.nc
netcdf getm {
dimensions:
lon = 130 ;
lat = 5 ;
z = 21 ;
variables:
float lon(lon) ;
float lat(lat) ;
float level(z) ;
// global attributes:
:title = "Haidvogel and Beckmann test case" ;
:history = "Generated by getm, ver. 1.7.0" ;
data:
lon = _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
_, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _ ;
lat = _, _, _, _, _ ;
level = _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _ ;
group: 2d {
dimensions:
time = UNLIMITED ; // (48 currently)
variables:
float time(time) ;
float elev(time, lat, lon) ;
float U(time, lat, lon) ;
float V(time, lat, lon) ;
data:
}
}
Notice that it is listed that there are 48 in the unlimited dimension I
do hwoever not see any data listed. For testing I just dump random
numbers into elev, U and V.
Is that a new feature of ncdump?
Another question - I'm I right in the assumption that I can inherit
dimensions from the root group - as shown above - does that imply I also
inherit the root coordinate variables?
