Utilities
Although not necessary for the library to work, ncks
is helpful for downloading .nc
files in the correct way,
as well as reading their contents for header and format exploration.
On Ubuntu, you can install it using: apt install nco
On macOS, you can install it using: brew install nco
usage
Usage
A NetCDF file can be loaded into Elixir with the following command:
filename = # Elixir string with the path to the NetCDF file
{:ok, file} = NetCDF.File.open(filename)
We can inspect its variables in the struct's :variables
field.
Finally, variables can be loaded as follows:
# loading the first variable from the file
variable_name = hd(file.variables)
{:ok, variable} = NetCDF.Variable.load(file, variable_name)
