All:

I'm successfully able to export a netcdf file from GRASS 6.4.1 using r.out.gdal. Using ncdump shows a reasonable result. The problem I'm having is that the netcdf file contains neither the data type (2-m temperature) nor the units (degrees Kelvin). The software I need to use to import the resulting netcdf file must know the data type and units in order to import it. How can I add these attributes to the netcdf file?

One thought I had was to use ncdump to export a cdl file and then have a script add the attributes I need and then use ncgen to re-generate the netcdf file with the data type and units attributes added.

Before I embarked on this path I thought there may be a simpler way? I know there are tools such as cdo and ncl, but it may be more work to sort-out using these than using the brute force method I'm proposing…

Regards,
Tom
