<TITLE>RE: [Wrf-users] Producing >2Gb NetCDF files with WRF</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm still reviewing the NetCDF documentation, but so far it seems the calling program (WRF) is supposed to pass a flag to NetCDF to turn 64-bit offset on. So it's also a WRF issue.<BR>
<BR>
And I'm using NetCDF 4.0.1. <BR>

This is a netCDF issue, not a WRF issue. Look at the netCDF<BR>
documentation for notes on large file support, or possibly update your<BR>
version of netCDF.<BR>
