<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Jay,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There are probably several ways to do this. One that occurs to me is to create the dimensions in the new file with the "filedimdef" procedure:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/filedimdef.shtml">http://ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/filedimdef.shtml</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">So in your case, that might look something like:<br>
<br>
filedimdef(f,(/"lat","lon"/),(/1440, 720/), (/False,False/))<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">You can add the other information directly as global attributes of the file:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> f->LatitudeResolution=0.25<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> f->LongitudeResolution=0.25<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"> ...etc...<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope that helps...<o:p></o:p></p>
