So if your files are netcdf3, they will need to be converted. the ncdump utility should be able to tell you: ncdump -k the_file.nc If it doesn't say"netCDF-4",then you need to convert. The sccopy utility can convert, this should do it: nccopy -k netCDF-4 the_input_file.nc the_ouput_file.nc However, I have a code in IDL programming language.
