Hi Kunai,
The lat2d and lon2d attributes are only recognized by the NCL graphics
routines. NetCDF only supports attributes with no more than 1
dimension. When you have 2d coordinates you should just write them
directly to the NetCDF file as separate variables. Furthermore your 2d
coordinates should have the same dimension names as the data variable
and to be CF compliant the data variable should have a coordinates
attribute that lists the names of the coordinate variables.
So if you want the coordinates to be named "lat" and "lon", then you
should introduce two new dimension names, for example, "x" and "y",
that will be shared by the data variable and the coordinate variables:
So replace this code:
lat!0 = "lat"
; lat&lat = lat
lon!0 = "lon"
; lon&lon = lon
var!0 = "lat" ; you can name these dimensions whatever you want..
var!1 = "lon"
; var&lat = lat ; but make sure you refer to the correct named dimensions
; var&lon = lon
var at lat2d = lat
var at lon2d = lon
with
lat!0 = "y"
lat!1 = "x"
lon!0 = "y"
lon!1 = "x"
var!0 = "x'
var!1 = "y"
var at coordinates = "lat lon"
then add after (or before - it shouldn't matter) this line:
ncdf->var = var
ncdf->lat = lat
ncfd->lon = lon
Hope this helps.
