Initial Request

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
The online tutorial provides a link to the MET download page which provides
a link to Unidata for downloading NetCDF, but the version listed is NetCDF
4.4.1. The User's Guide advises not to use version 4. Is the listed version
OK to use or does the Unidata site have the version 3 at some other
location?
Thanks.

Hello John,
You're right. It looks like Unidata is only listed their latest
release on
their website:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/
Fear not, the older releases can still be found elsewhere. On the
left
hand side of that page, click the "Download" link. Then scroll down
to the
"Archived netCDF source code
<ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/old>"
link.
Here are some commands that grab netcdf-4.1.1 and compile using the
GNU
compilers:
wget ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/old/netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf netcdf-4.1.1.tar.gz
cd netcdf-4.1.1
./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/directory CC=`which gcc`
CXX=`which
g++` FC='' F90='' --disable-netcdf-4
make
make install
While met-5.2 uses the classic data model of NetCDF3, in version 6.0
we'll
be updating to using NetCDF4, specifically using it's compression.
We'll
be following the NetCDF-CF (climate forecast) conventions but add
compression.
Just let me know if you continue to have issues.
Thanks,
John
