Re: [netcdf-java] Renaming CoordinateAxis

One poor man's solution, would be to just make a system call, and use the NCO (http://nco.sourceforge.net/) utility ncrename (http:// nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncrename-netCDF-Renamer), which can readily change variable names in netCDF files. Just a thought.

Hi All,

I’m working with gridded datasets (for now) and am interested in “renaming” the coordinate axes for certain datasets. For example – a particular dataset has a “latitude” coordinate axis called “yu_ocean” and a “longitude” axis called “xu_ocean”. Is there a way to rename these axes to “lat” and “lon” without completely rebuilding the nc file?
I’m currently using:
FileWriter.writeVariables(List<Variable>); FileWriter.finish();

To write the file and would like to do the “rename” prior to these calls – when I am building the List<Variable> to pass to FileWriter.writeVariables()....

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Chris
