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.

The documentation for netCDF4-Python writes:'NETCDF3_64BIT_DATA' is the 64-bit data version of the netCDF 3 file format, which supports 64-bit dimension sizes plus unsigned and 64 bit integer data types, but is only compatible with clients linked against netCDF version 4.4.0 or later.This seems generally useful, so I'm interested in implementing support for this format in the netCDF3 module included in SciPy:http://scipy.github.io/devdocs/generated/scipy.io.netcdf_file.htmlHowever, I can't seem to find a description of this format in the netCDF file format specification:https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/file_format_specifications.htmlIs a full specification for this variation available somewhere? If not, I would encourage updating the specifications doc. One of the strengths of netCDF (especially netCDF3) is that it is clearly specified and has multiple independent implementations :).Cheers, Stephan _______________________________________________ NOTE: All exchanges posted to Unidata maintained email lists are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and made publicly available through the web.
