hi everybody
this is my first post 
i'm working with meteo data.
usually i open netcdf with qgis and then import them in grass, using the r.in.gdal.
grass/qgis error in command line is:
Loaded : GdalTools (package: GdalTools)
100%
ERROR 4: `/home/cscaini/Desktop/meteo/
WRF-Puerto/prova.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.
100%
Warning: QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.
100%
ERROR 6: No translation an empty SRS to PROJ.4 format is known.
GRASS 6.4.0 (barcelona):~ > exit^C
i have a .nc file that i cannot import,
so i tryed by command line to investigate what happens
ncdump -h gives a normal output starting like this:
netcdf Con-001.res {
dimensions:
lon = 151 ;
lat = 151 ;
alt = 33 ;
time = UNLIMITED ; // (25 currently)
variables:
float lon(lon) ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
lon:description = "longitude. East positive" ;
float lat(lat) ;
lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
lat:description = "latitude. North positive" ;
float alt(alt) ;
alt:units = "m" ;
alt:description = "heights (a.s.l.)" ;
float time(time) ;
time:units = "h" ;
time:description = "time after 0000UTC" ;
etc etc etc
but when i try to do a gdalinfo, or translate it into geotiff, this is the message i get:
cscaini@cscaini-ThinkPad-T400:~/Desktop$ gdal_translate -a_srs WGS84 -sds prova2.nc prova-translation
ERROR 4: `prova2.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.
GDALOpen failed - 4
`prova2.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.
cscaini@cscaini-ThinkPad-T400:~/Desktop$ gdalinfo prova2.nc
ERROR 4: `prova2.nc' not recognised as a supported file format.
gdalinfo failed - unable to open 'prova2.nc'.
does everybody know which could be the problem?
this file is generated by WRF weather forecast model, and then modified.
(i attached the file)
with packages netcdf, gdal, etc, everything should be ok,
because until today i could manage netcdf without problems directly in grass
thank you very much
