Hello group,
Thank you to all who sent comments regarding extracting a grid point
time series from a netcdf file. I used ncks to extract a single time
series. But now I would like to convert it to an ASCII file. So I try
using ncdump, but get a segmentation fault.
Here are the commands I used for the above:
[root@localhost climate_data]# ncks -H -d lat,48.218750 -d
lon,-120.96880 hadcm_T.nc test_out.nc
[root@localhost climate_data]# ncdump -h test_out.nc
netcdf test_out {
dimensions:
time = 1212 ;
lat = 1 ;
lon = 1 ;
variables:
float Tds(time, lat, lon) ;
Tds:missing_value = -999.99f ;
float lat(lat) ;
lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
float lon(lon) ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
float time(time) ;
time:units = "days since 2000-01-01" ;
// global attributes:
:history = "Mon Nov 24 11:40:01 2008: ncks -H -d
lat,48.218750 -d lon,-120.96880 hadcm_T.nc test_out.nc" ;
}
[root@localhost climate_data]# ncdump -v Tds, test_out.nc > test.cdl
Segmentation fault
Any ideas what the problem is? FYI, I am pretty sure the data is intact
since I was able to look at the time series with ncview.
