support NETCDF4 in MFnetCDF4

Open ocehugo opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

Any news regarding NETCDF4 support in MFnetCDF4 ?

Now, if anyone tried to load several NETCDF4 with mfdataset there is an error:

ValueError: MFNetCDF4 only works with NETCDF3_CLASSIC, NETCDF3_64BIT and NETCDF4_CLASSIC formatted files, not NETCDF4

Cheers

no plans yet to support netcdf-4. I had hoped that some of the aggregation features of the netcdf-java lib would be ported to the C lib eventually.

@ocehugo Hi, I have created a python library (called netcdf) that uses only the netCDF4's Dataset api as a base to load a variable distributed in multiple files.

@ecolell That looks like a handy library -- but perhaps you should give it a more specific name? That would be less confusing.

Hi @jswhit . Any news on this issue? It seems like the aggregation features from the netcdf-java lib haven't been ported to the C lib (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/RELEASE_NOTES.html).

Nope - I doubt it ever will happen. It would be great it someone were to port the java aggregation stuff to python.
