Also, in regards to removing the fields from the actual grid files, you can either do that with utilities, matlab, octave, or we can run the locs.dat file back through the updated grid generator.<div><br></div><div>Any of the above methods should allow you to remove particular fields from the grid files. I think the easiest two are probably the nc utils and running the locs.day file back through the generator. Since the locs.dat are the converged centroids of the SCVT, there should be no iterations necessary for convergence, and when you run it though you could just set max_it to zero, causing it to just write out a new grid.</div>

Guys,<br>
<br>
The history attribute is a netCDF CF metadata standard so a CF-compliant file should have this attribute. They also have optional attributes that provide additional detail if you think history is too messy.<br>
