[ncl-talk] How to Access root group of NETCDF-4

[David Brown]

You can access them just as you would access a variable in a classic
NetCDF3 file:

var = f->varname

or you can include the root group indicator if you like:

var = f->/varname

or if the name has unusual characters (meaning non-numeric,
non-alphabetic, and not '_') then you can use the string syntax:

var = f->$"var name with spaces, punctuation, etc."$

This form can also contain the root group indicator:

var = f->$"/var name with spaces, punctuation, etc."$

Hope this helps.
