First post
I have an ascii file that I need to parse into a netCDF. This is an
example of how I define my variables:
File = asciiread(filename, -1,"string")
Data = stringtochar(File)
time = stringtodouble(charactertostring(Data(:,8:17)))
winddirection = stringtofloat(charactertostring(Data(:,26:31)))
degree = stringtofloat(charactertostring(Data(:,40:45)))
Now I write the variables like this (after all the attributes are
written with filevatattdef):
out->time=(/time/)
out->winddirection=(/winddirection/)
out->degree=(/degree/)
My questions is, how can I get the variables to recognize that they are
based on the time variable? Do I have to define the dimensions
differently? As of now all variables come up with the same size
dimension. I only ask because I see examples online
(http://ccmp.chesapeake.org/twiki/bin/view/CcmpWiki/CbosWavefile) where
a time series variable is defined as "float (time,variable)" in the
netCDF .cdl representation. For example:
double time(time) ;
time:calendar = "standard" ;
time:standard_name = "time" ;
time:long_name = "time" ;
time:units = "seconds since 19070-1-1 0:0:0" ;
float degree(ncl2) ;
degk:units = "Degrees Kelvin" ;
degk:long_name = "Degrees Kelvin" ;
float winddirection(ncl3) ;
wdir:units = "degrees" ;
wdir:standard_name = "wind_to_direction" ;
wdir:long_name = "wind direction" ;
I guess im basically asking how to get (time,degree) and
(time,winddirection) in place of ncl2 and ncl3.
Thanks in advance for any help.
