>From: "Mathias Lundmark" <address@hidden> >Organization: Renewable Energy in Sweden AB >Keywords: 200209091248.g89Cmnj04821 netCDF FTP Windows Hi Mathias, Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this. >Thank you for the answer on my last question. > >I get NetCDF-files from this NCAR reanalysis data. The only thing I want >is to get the NetCDF files data human readable, and transfer the data to >ascii / excel. But so far I have not succeed. You should use the ncdump routine that is part of the netCDF package. It lists out the contents of a netCDF file in ASCII format. Use of ncdump is described in: Unidata HomePage my.unidata.ucar.edu Software http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/software/index.php netCDF http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/index.php NetCDF Documentation http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/docs.html online HTML http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/guidec/ 10 - NetCDF Utilities http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/guidec/guidec-15.html#HEADING15-0 10.5 ncdump >I have succeed to make graphs in NCbrowse and GRADS so far but nothing >else. If you downloade a binary for the netCDF, you will have ncdump available to you. >I have tried this ncdump but it doesn't work for me. The program close >as soon as I try to click and open the program. ncdump needs to be run from the command line. Try opening up an MS-DOS window and running it by hand. After looking through the online manual for the netCDF (URLs above), you should get a good idea of how to run ncdump. >The computerexpert we have was here today and he said that we need >Microsoft Visual C++.NET to be able to view this files. Is it true??? No, this is not true. >We have downloaded your software. >We have Windows 2000 professional and not driving linux. >I want the most simple way to get this data. Maybe I will learn to use >Grads or something similar good in the future but I don't need it for >the moment ncdump should be the simplest way to do what you are after. Let's first work on getting ncdump working for you. >Hopefully I will not have more questions after this one. No worries. Tom Yoksas
