I'd forgotten about that one -- I was thinking a pacakge that could read-write both netcdf and csv would be good. I was thinking Iris, too: http://scitools.org.uk/iris/ But it doesn't seem to support CSV out of the box. However, you could read the CSV, create a data cube from scratch, and then write that out to netcdf. If it's a bit picky for creating the data cube -- but that's a good thing -- it will force you to conform to the CF data model, so you'll get a nice CF compliant netcdf file without having to do as much work to figure out the standard from teh docs. > And I adapted it here to create a simple program that reads CSV data > using Pandas, converts to an xray Dataset, adds metadata, and then > uses an xray method to write to NetCDF: > > > http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/rsignell-usgs/notebook/blob/master/csv2netcdf.ipynb That is pretty cool!
