Hi Silva, > Could you please let me know the fortran format to read very large netcdf > files. The netCDF format is not associated with particular programming languages, so a netCDF file written from a Fortran, C, Python, or Java program can be read by a program written in Fortran, C, Python, or Java, as long as its linked against the right library for that language. To read small or large netCDF files from Fortran requires several steps: 1. Install the netCDF C library, either from a package management system or by building it from source. See http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/getting_and_building_netcdf.html 2. Install the netCDF Fortran library, either from a package management system or by building it from source. The netCDF Fortran library uses and requires the netCDF C library, so you have to do step 1 first. See http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/building_netcdf_fortran.html 3. Write your Fortran program to call functions from the netCDF Fortran library, and link to the netCDF Fortran library installed in step 2. There are no limits on the size of the netCDF file you can read from Fortran. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ECA-828008 Department: Support netCDF Priority: High Status: Closed
