This will be even more important with Soren's new temporal GIS framework. Many netcdf climate files are the equivalent of 'time-cubes'. Being able to read/write these easily would provide a very rich source of data to use in temporal GIS analyses. Michael C. Michael Barton

Lack of NetCDF support would be a problem for sure. We wondered about that. Jennifer is trying on Windows and I'm on a Mac. Michael C. Michael Barton Director, Center for Social Dynamics & Complexity Professor of Anthropology, School of Human Evolution & Social Change Arizona

Michael, I could not open the file in GRASS either. I have attached the errors I got. They look like the same that you were describing (I tried both with and without the -o flag). I did however remember the work around I used, which was to: 1. import the .nc files into MATLAB 2. Export as GeoTI

Michael, our experience with netCDF has been mixed, it very much depends what is in the file. Unless you find that this was a trivial error and everything works well, it would be extremely valuable to test GRASS with various types of netCDF data, document what works and what does not - perhaps set

I had to import a bunch of SSURGO NetCDF data not too long ago Michael (I was going back and forth with GRASS and MATLAB). I don't seem to remember having any trouble with gdal (which means that it must have worked!) Are you sure that the NetCDF is Lat Long? What was your error exactly? Is the
