Hei from Norway,
I want to write data observed at different points at different time steps in
netCDF with CF1.4. I read something in chapter 9 but was told that this isn't
convention, yet.
I have a unknown amount of timesteps and per timestep a different amount of
observation data.
As an example I have
time =
{0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75}
number_records_per_timestep =
{0, 24, 48, 65, 74, 97, 83, 52, 43, 66, 63, 71}
and tried
dimensions:
time = UNLIMITED; // (12 currently)
variables:
double time(time=12);
:long_name = "forecast time after simulation start";
:standard_name = "forecast_reference_time";
:units = "days since 2010-05-25";
:calendar = "gregorian";
int number_records_per_timestep(time=12);
:units = "1";
:long_name = "number spillets per current timestep";
:CF:ragged_row_count = "time";
float latitude(time=12);
:long_name = "spillet latitude";
:standard_name = "latitude";
:units = "degrees_north";
float longitude(time=12);
:long_name = "spillet longitude";
:standard_name = "longitude";
:units = "degrees_east";
float radius_of_droplet_cloud_on_sea_surface(time=12);
:long_name = "spillet radius";
:standard_name =
"effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particle";
:units = "m";
:_FillValue = NaNf; // float
:coordinates = "time latitude longitude";
but I have some trouble in writing the data.
Can you help?
Best regards,
Ute
