Re: Overwrite netcdf variable: fatal:Dimension sizes of left hand side do not match right hand side

Hi Dave,

Yep that was it, there was only one time step so I hadn't thought about it. Your suggestion worked perfectly.

Many thanks,

There could be a single element dimension for time (or not) but in any case you need to account for it when you write back to the variables in the file.
