you don't have to close this issue - just link it to the one in the netcdf-c repo

@ocefpaf any idea what might be going on here?

@xavierabellan thanks for narrowing it down. Would you mind reporting your results [here](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues) so the C library developers are aware of it? As soon as it's fixed, we can issue...

Thanks for all your recent contributions @DWesl! Not sure how I feel about touching the ancient NCAR fortran code though - seems like a slippery slope. The only reason I've...

Actually, setup.py looks for #define NC_HAS_PARALLEL in netcdf_meta.h to determine whether to add parallel support to the build. If it finds it, it then imports mpi4py to find out where...

it would be relatively simple to disable parallel support by patching the setup.py file for netcdf4-python, if you wanted to apply this diff in the spack recipe ``` --- a/setup.py...

grib2 compression is lossy, rewriting the same data multiple times will progressively lose information

You can turn off compression by setting the dataRepresentationTemplateNumber key to 4 and then re-writing the file (there's a `grib_repack` utility that does this)

take a look at the [source code](https://github.com/jswhit/pygrib/blob/master/utils/grib_repack). Note that this only works for GRIB2 files.

Would one short term solution be to modify the grib analysis files offline so that all non-land points are masked (or have missing values)? Will global_cycle do the right thing...
