[ncl-talk] Netcdf to text file

[Gus Correa]

Hi Soma

ncdump (part of the netCDF library) is your friend!
No need for NCL, CDO, or NCO for this.

ncdump -b c foo.nc > foo.cdl (for C-style indexes, starting with 0)
ncdump -b F foo.nc > foo.cdl (for Fortran-style indexes, starting with 1)

This will produce a text file with the whole netCDF structure (file, global
attributes,
dimensions, coordinate variables  and their attributes, and regular
variables and their attributes),
the "cdl" description.

Beware that if your foo.nc file is big, the output text file foo.cdl will
be gigantic.

For more details see "man ncdump".

I hope this helps,
Gus Correa
