NetCDF is really good at representing regular arrays of data, whereas polylines/polygons tend to have varying numbers of coordinate pairs -- what would lat and lon variables look like in that case, and what would be the meaning of lat/lon dimensions? NCL makes a shapefile *look* like a NetCDF file by packing the coordinate information for all features into the x/y variables, but then one has to utilize the geometry and segments variables to unpack coordinates for each feature. The shapefiles examples page show many examples of doing this:<br><br> <a href="http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/shapefiles.shtml" target="_blank">http://ncl.ucar.edu/Applicatio<wbr>ns/shapefiles.shtml</a><br><br></div>If you are working with NCL, you are probably better off leaving your data as a shapefile<i>. </i>I take it however that you have other reasons for wanting a NetCDF file?<br><br></div><div>Finally, I might comment that the conversion result may not be correct -- its suspect to me that the "num_points" value is exactly twice the value of "num_features" -- I wonder if maybe just the end-points of the tracks where what got captured in the conversion?<br></div><div><br></div>Rick<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="gmail-m_-8049274986959429232m_-6417443193172863545h5">On Fri, Apr 6, 2018 at 11:30 PM, Lyndz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:olagueralyndonmark429@gmail.com" target="_blank">olagueralyndonmark429@gmail.c<wbr>om</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="gmail-m_-8049274986959429232m_-6417443193172863545h5"><div dir="ltr"><div><div class="gmail-m_-8049274986959429232m_-6417443193172863545m_8432888801720720690m_-2027423418176086207gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear NCL experts,</div><div><br></div><div>I would like to convert the following shapefile to a netcdf file.</div><div>I created the shapefile from a csv file containing jtwc tc tracks (see attached csv2shp.py)<br></div><div>Also attached is the csv file.</div><div><br></div><div>When I used the ncl_convert2nc the netcdf file has no lat-lon dimension.
