<br>
For further clarification, I am posting this question I previously asked<br>
and answered.<br>
<br>
For an analysis I need to convert netCDF output to flat binary - netCDF<br>
array size data(time,lat,lon) = data(1200,180,360).<br>
<br>
The output binary is read by a matlab program as data(lon,lat,time) =<br>
data(360,180,1200).<br>
<br>
Do I have to rotate the dimensions before writing the binary?<br>
<br>
The following scripts does the conversion.<br>
<br>
f1 = addfile ("<a href="http://infile.nc" target="_blank">infile.nc</a>", "r")<br>
data = f1->data<br>
fo = "outfile.bin"<br>
data1 = data(time|:,lon|:,lat|:) ;each time step has 360 lons<br>
and 180 lats<br>
nt = 1200<br>
<br>
do nt=0,(nt-1 )<br>
fbindirwrite(fo, vals(nt,:,:) )<br>
end do<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
