NetCDF with Python (netCDF4): Metadata, Dimensions, and Variables

ByKonrad Hafen

Important information describing the data contained in netCDF files is embedded directly in the netCDF file. Accessing and reading of this information (i.e. metadata) can help you automate tasks, debug code, and validate results easily. This tutorial covers how to access information describing the metadata, dimensions, and variables contained in a netCDF file. For the…
