Hi,
I am reading in a netcdf file and applying subsetting and reduction
criteria. I am trying to get my head around the fact that a variable can be
based on less than the full set of available coordinate variables. For
example, in a FOAM netcdf file I am looking at there are depth, lat and lon
coordinate variables and a number of data variables. One such variable is
called ICEC and it is recorded at only lat and lon.
My question is, if I am creating an output netcdf file which is going to
contain just the ICEC variable what should I output in the global metadata?
Should I output all three coordinate variables? What shape should they be?
What shape should they be when I include another variable which is based on
different coordinate variables and has different shape?
Thanks
Brian
