[ncl-talk] convert polyline shapefile to netcdf via ncl_convert2nc

[Lyndz]

Dear NCL experts,

I would like to convert the following shapefile to a netcdf file.
I created the shapefile from a csv file containing jtwc tc tracks (see
attached csv2shp.py)
Also attached is the csv file.

When I used the ncl_convert2nc the netcdf file has no lat-lon dimension.
Here's the output of the ncdump. Is it also possible to divide the TC
categories by dividing the Vmax values?


I'll appreciate any suggestion on how to do this correctly.


netcdf par_jtwc_above_ts_1979-1993 {
dimensions:
geometry = 2 ;
segments = 2 ;
num_features = 1050 ;
num_segments = 1050 ;
num_points = 2100 ;
variables:
int geometry(num_features, geometry) ;
int segments(num_segments, segments) ;
double x(num_points) ;
double y(num_points) ;
int SN(num_features) ;
int CY(num_features) ;
int Y1(num_features) ;
int M1(num_features) ;
int D1(num_features) ;
int H1(num_features) ;
int VMax1(num_features) ;
int Y2(num_features) ;
int M2(num_features) ;
int D2(num_features) ;
int H2(num_features) ;
int VMax2(num_features) ;

// global attributes:
:segs_numPnts = 1 ;
:segs_xyzIndex = 0 ;
:geom_numSegs = 1 ;
:geom_segIndex = 0 ;
:geometry_type = "polyline" ;
:layer_name = "par_jtwc_above_ts_1979-1993" ;
:creation_date = "Sat Apr  7 14:11:24 JST 2018" ;
:NCL_Version = "6.4.0" ;
:system = "Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP

:Conventions = "None" ;
:title = "NCL: convert-OGR-to-netCDF" ;
}


Sincerely,
