Re: NCL limitation?

All NCL versions through v5.2.1 allow a maximum variable size
of 2GB. Th variable you are creating is ~3GB. Hence, the
error message.

In the very near future, a beta version of NCL 6.0.0
will be released. It will allow variables > 2GB.
An announcement will be sent to ncl-talk when the
beta version is ready.

For details see: : http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/future_release.shtml
