Your machine will be using part of its' memory for core functionality and other tasks. What you can do is to try to conserve memory in your script as best as you can. The sample coding snippets I sent you will assist in that task. Try what I suggested and let ncl-talk know if you have further issues. Note that beyond what I stated in my original reply, another avenue you might have to take to save memory is to read in the variables in different scripts. </div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 8, 2018 at 8:35 AM, Soma Roy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:somaroy892@gmail.com" target="_blank">somaroy892@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to access multiple variables from a file and need to average over time for each variables.</div><div><br></div><div>I am running the following codes:</div><div><br></div><div><div> fn = "ERA_Plev.nc" ; define filename</div><div> in = addfile(fn,"r") ; open netcdf file</div><div> printVarSummary(in)</div><div><br></div><div>T=in->t ; temperature</div><div>U=in->u ; U wind</div><div>V=in->v ; V wind</div><div><br></div><div>printVarSummary(T)</div><div>printVarSummary(U)</div><div>printVarSummary(V)</div><div><br></div><div>;T1 = dim_avg_n(T,0)</div><div>;T@units = "K"</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></div><div>end</div></div><div><br></div><div>Summary of the file is like below;<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Variable: in</div><div>Type: file</div><div>File path: ERA_Plev.nc</div><div>Number of global attributes: 2</div><div>Number of dimensions: 4</div><div>Number of variables: 18</div><div>fatal:NclMalloc Failed:[errno=12]</div><div>Segmentation fault (core dumped)</div></div><div><br></div><div>When I am calling only Temperature using the codes below;</div><div><br></div><div><div>fn = "ERA_Plev.nc" ; define filename</div><div>in = addfile(fn,"r") ; open netcdf file</div><div> printVarSummary(in)</div><div><br></div><div>T=in->t ; temperature</div><div>;U=in->u ; U wind</div><div>;V=in->v ; V wind</div><div><br></div><div>printVarSummary(T)</div><div>;printVarSummary(U)</div><div>;printVarSummary(V)</div><div><br></div><div>;T1 = dim_avg_n(T,0)</div><div>;T@units = "K"</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></div><div>end</div></div><div> </div><div>It shows</div><div><br></div><div><div>Variable: T</div><div>Type: short</div><div>Total Size: 1042566000 bytes</div><div> 521283000 values</div><div>Number of Dimensions: 4</div><div>Dimensions and sizes: [time | 120] x [level | 25] x [latitude | 721] x [longitude | 241]</div><div>Coordinates:</div><div> time: [994176..994890]</div><div> level: [50..125]</div><div> latitude: [90..-90]</div><div> longitude: [60..120]</div><div>Number Of Attributes: 7</div><div> scale_factor : 0.00218919045579553</div><div> add_offset : 252.4797479951041</div><div> _FillValue : -32767</div><div> missing_value : -32767</div><div> units : K</div><div> long_name : Temperature</div><div> standard_name : air_temperature</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have to call several other variables from this file (14 GB) and I need to average over time such that 'Dimensions' of each variables will be like below;</div><div><br></div><div>[time | 1]*
