Hi Ken, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am the "netCDF files generic and CF conventions" reader. The file possesses the the variable 'Times':
variables: char Times(Time, DateStrLen) ; Times:units = "seconds since 2010-11-9 00:00:00+0:00" ; and the Times variable is a list of datetimes (with slightly different format to the example on the CF page): ['2012-09-06_00:00:00', '2012-09-06_01:00:00', '2012-09-06_02:00:00', '2012-09-06_03:00:00', '2012-09-06_04:00:00', '2012-09-06_05:00:00', '2012-09-06_06:00:00', '2012-09-06_07:00:00', '2012-09-06_08:00:00', '2012-09-06_09:00:00', '2012-09-06_10:00:00', '2012-09-06_11:00:00', '2012-09-06_12:00:00', '2012-09-06_13:00:00', '2012-09-06_14:00:00', '2012-09-06_15:00:00', '2012-09-06_16:00:00', '2012-09-06_17:00:00', '2012-09-06_18:00:00', '2012-09-06_19:00:00', '2012-09-06_20:00:00', '2012-09-06_21:00:00', '2012-09-06_22:00:00', '2012-09-06_23:00:00', '2012-09-07_00:00:00'] Could the problem be that the dimension is named 'Time', and the variable is named 'Times'? thanks, jade On 15 November 2012 18:31, Moreland, Kenneth <kmo...@sandia.gov> wrote: > Jade, > > We need more information before we can properly answer this question. > First, which netCDF reader are you using (there is more than one in > ParaView)?
