Re: the variable attribute problem when writing netcdf4 file

SongFengfei,

It is probably that your CESM netCDF is compared with Classic NetCDF4,
which means it won't be able to read any (true) NetCDF4 files.

The simple way is regenerate your file, with options:

setfileoption("nc","format","NetCDF4Classic")

Or:

setfileoption("nc","format","Classic")

Or, just comment out the setfileoption line, which will use the default value "Classic".

Regards,

Wei
