Dear all,

I have a radar NetCDF4 dataset and I am not able to understand how it is
structured:

This is my_dataset.dimensions.keys


<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'time', size = 3600
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'range', size = 664
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'n_points', size = 1502280
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'sweep', size = 10
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'string_length_8', size = 8
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'string_length_32', size = 32
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'status_xml_length', size = 1
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'r_calib', size = 1
<type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dimension'>: name = 'frequency', size = 1


-- 
n_points shoud be time*range = 3600*664 = 2390400 but it isn't. it is
1502280. What am I not undertanding?

Thanks in advance.
