Hello All,
I have been attempting to use the netcdf classic format , but
encounter the diagnostic message "One or more variable sizes
violate format constraints" when the dimension "chars" is defined. It
doesn't seem to me that the constraint of the classic format have
been violated. The same works with the netcdf-2 format (but analysis
tools don't).
Can anyone identify where I've gone wrong based on the "ncdump -h"
output below?
Thanks much,
- Richard Hedges
