How to add a variable and a dimension to a netcdf file
Added by nazanin tavakoli about 3 years ago
Hi,
I want to add a dimension that is called lengthd to my NetCDF data. My data's dimension has time, longitude, and latitude, and I want to add lengthd= 10 to my data. Also, I want to add date and time_weights to my variable which have the following properties:
time_weights
Size: 12x1
Dimensions: time
Datatype: single
Attributes:
long_name = 'number of days per time step'
units = 'days'
date
Size: 10x12
Dimensions: lengthd,time
Datatype: char
Attributes:
long_name = 'label for each time step'
units = ''
Could anybody help me?
I would appreciate it if you help me.

CDO is not designed for a request like this. you better use NCO or a scripting language that offers netcdf bindings (Python,Ruby,R,...)

I think ncap2 should be a good choice http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncap2-netCDF-Arithmetic-Processor
the python-netCDF4 package is also well suited for what you want I think: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python/blob/master/examples/tutorial.py you can google it for more examples
