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
