Dear all NASA has decided to change formats of MODIS data files with ocean biology products from hdf4 to netcdf-4, and my software turned useless. I was asked to change my Fortran executables from hdf4 to netcdf-4. After training myself to get control on using netcdf-4 library functions of Fortran interface, I hit on a road bloc: the function NF90_GET_VAR to read datasets works well for arrays of single types (integers or reals) but NOT for compound user defined types, like the structure sstdata TYPE binSST real(kind=4) :: sum real(kind=4) :: sum2 end TYPE binSST TYPE(binSST), allocatable, dimension(:) :: sstdata In case someone has hit on a similar problem or has a suggestion, I would kindly appreciate the help. I work in Linux (Ubuntu) 64 bits, and the Fortran compiler is gfortran.
Arlindo, Are you trying to use compound variables using nf90_def_compound, a la: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6924073/netcdf-and-fortran-structuresI've used these before and they seem to work well. If not, what does your code look like?
