<div>You can get the global atts. directly from a file, opened using add file():</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> f = addfile(<filename>,"r") ;f can be treated as variable, with attributes the same as the files global atts</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> fAtts = getvaratts(f) ; all the global attribute names</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div dir="ltr">HI NCL users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm wondering if NCL has fuctions to get global attributes of nc files. I have found the following function to add global attributes:</div>
<table cellspacing="2" width="100%" border="1" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:16px">
<tbody style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<tr style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<td valign="top" style="padding:5px"><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/fileattdef.shtml" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(133,45,133);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">fileattdef</a></td>
<td style="padding:5px">Defines global (file) attributes associated with a <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclFormatSupport.shtml" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(133,45,133);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">supported
file</a>.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there any functions to or other methods to deal with the problems?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot!</div>
