How do I edit a netCDF file?

To edit metadata or data in a netCDF file:

1. Use ncdump to convert netCDF file to CDL.
2. Use a text editor to make desired change to CDL.
3. Use ncgen to turn modified CDL back into netCDF file.
4. Note: not practical for huge netCDF files or if modifying lots of files. For that, need to write a program using netCDF library.

Can ArcGIS open netCDF?

Reading netCDF data using Python

1. from netCDF4 import Dataset import numpy as np.
2. my_example_nc_file = ‘/Users/jhamman/Desktop/my_example_nc_data.nc’ fh = Dataset(my_example_nc_file, mode=’r’)
3. lons = fh.variables[‘lon’][:] lats = fh.variables[‘lat’][:] tmax = fh.variables[‘Tmax’][:] tmax_units = fh.variables[‘Tmax’].units.

How do I view netCDF files?
