Hi List,
Is there any way to tell GRASS or GDAL to include the variable names in the netcDF file?
I'm writing a raster group to a netCDF file like this:
i.group -l grp
group <catchment> references the following raster maps
-------------
<foo> <bar> <baz>
-------------
r.out.gdal input=grp output=grp.nc format=netCDF
Unfortunately, ncdump shows that the group variable names (foo, bar, baz) are not written, and instead everything is just "Band 1" and "Band 2".
int Band1(y, x) ;
Band1:long_name = "GDAL Band Number 1" ;
Band1:_FillValue = -2147483647 ;
Band1:grid_mapping = "polar_stereographic" ;
int Band2(y, x) ;
Band2:long_name = "GDAL Band Number 2" ;
Band2:_FillValue = -2147483648 ;
int Band3(y, x) ;
Band3:long_name = "GDAL Band Number 3" ;
Band3:_FillValue = -2147483648 ;
This sort-of defeats the purpose of netCDF which should be self-documenting.
-k.
