Request for a -delattribute option

Added by Brian Højen-Sørensen 9 months ago

I have many times found my self forced to use ncatted from the NCO package to remove attributes from NetCDF files, and have wished that there was a -delattribute,var@attr that could remove them. When providing NetCDF files for general download I prefer to have them as clean and correct (CF compliant) as possible.

So just a friendly request to consider it for a future feature. :-)

Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brian,

The CDO function delattribute will be available in the next CDO relase!

Cheers,
Uwe

That is really nice (and very fast).

I'll test it out when it is released.

I have mentioned it in a previous post, but using CDO and combining many functions to limit the amount of read/writes from disk in a production environment is really beneficial (and not using /dev/shm/). Being able to merge, regrid and modify files in a single command has improved our job flow tremendeously.

Awesome job. :-)

PS. I just found what i think is a bug in -setattribute and made a post: https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/boards/1/topics/15696 Sorry!
