<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif">I have large netCDF files, which I want to download to my local machine and run through VAPOR. My idea is to use NCO to cut down the netCDF files to only include the variables that are necessary
for my plots. However, if I do that, I get error messages such as “XLAT missing”, “Can’t compute ELEVATION variable”, suggesting necessary variables are missing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
