20001016: Unable to find Version 7.7 NetCDF config file
- Subject: 20001016: Unable to find Version 7.7 NetCDF config file
- Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 15:20:51 -0600
>From: Frederic J Chagnon <address@hidden>
>Organization: MIT
>Keywords: 200010162003.e9GK39413512 McIDAS-X 7.7 netCDF config
Frederic,
>On page 3D-19 of the McIDAS 7.7 user guide, you refer to two sample
>configuration files (netcdfgrid.cfg & netcdfpoint.cfg) that should be located
>in the ~mcidas/data directory. I amunable to find these files, both on your
>ftp site, or on my machine.
These files will be available with the McIDAS-X 7.7 release. The version
currently in distribution from Unidata is 7.6.
>Could I please have a copy of these sample config files?
I have included the 7.7 version files below:

# This file contains an example configuration file to
# be used with the netcdf grid server
#
# Inform the netcdf server which variable names are
# associated with the x- and y- dimensions of a grid,
# the temporal dimension, and the vertical dimension
# ** dimension associations **
# Time is associated with the dimension named TIME in
# the netcdf file that this configuration file is
# used to access
#
record TIME

# either x or lon can be the X (horizontal) axis
# either y or lat can be the Y (horizontal) axis
#

lon XHORZ
#
# There are many possibilities for a name for a
# vertical variable ... level below refers to a
# pressure level (1000,950,900,850,...,200,150,100mb)
# Some variables aren't saved at each pressure level
# (absolute vorticity, for example) and the levels they
# are saved at are in level_c (1000,850,700,500,250mb)
# Other variables are saved at fhg (a _f_ixed _h_eight _a_bove
# ground (typically 2 and 10 meters); still others are
# saved at sigma levels (ls); ls_bndry_bot is a sigma level
# for the bottom of the bndry layer (e.g 0.98) and ls_bndry_top
# for the top of the bndry layer (0.84); ls_sfc_bot and
# ls_sfc_top define the top/bottom of the surface layer
# in the model (0.99 and 0.97 sigma); ls_all_top and ls_all_bot
# are the top and bottom of the model in sigma (1 and 0);
# lfhg_bot and lfhg_top are 0 and 3000 m. ls_bot and ls_top
# give predefined sigma layers (1-0.97,0.97-0.94,0.94-0.91,0.91-0.88
# and 0.88-0.85)
# So....there can be u which is saved at level, y, and x
# u_fhg which is saved at fhg, y and x
# u_ls which is saved at ls, y and x ...
# all are u components, but some are at constant p, some are at
# constant z, and some are at constant sigma.

# ** parameter (variable) mappings **
# Put in the upcased name from the command line, and netcdf name
# it should map to...the netcdf name will often (but now always!)
# contain lowercase letters
# The following are used by the program to translate between what
# is entered in the sort clauses (PARAM=OMEGA) and what the netCDF
# file refers to variables as. For example, one would enter
# PARAM=PRES on the command line to access P_sfc in the netcdf
# file. Only those parameters that are mapped here can be
# succesfully accessed by the netcdf grid servers; after all,
# it does need to know what to look for.

There is no guarantee that the netCDF access will work 100% correctly in
McIDAS-X 7.7. I will be interested in hearing about your experiences
in using it.
