Hello,
I want to use NCML to generate the output of a hydrological model
(hydrograph). I create XML file in following the UNIDATA recommendations :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<netcdf xmlns="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/namespaces/netcdf/ncml-2.2";>

<attribute name="units" type="string" value="seconds since

</netcdf>
However when I try to transform it in NetCDF file through ToolsUI nothing
happens.
I don't know if it's possible to do that directly with XML/NCML or if it's
mandatory to use the "location" attribut. But in my case, the purpose is to
avoid the netcdf creation (also the location attribut) at the model output,
but to eventually generate it later.
Thank you for your help
Vincent
