Software that converts the netcdf files of the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) into HDF5, it allows to create HDF5 files for Mohid using the Module LIFE (mmol/m3) or the Module WaterQuality (mg/l). The user will be prompted when the software is ran.
Running options for this application are specified by the user in a input file named PARAMETER_READ.dat.
Input file (PARAMETER_READ.dat)
ACTION : CONVERT LEVITUS FORMAT INPUT_FILENAME : ... (path/name of NetCDF file to be converted) OUTPUT_FILENAME : ... (path/name of HDF5 file to be converted) JUST_REPORT : 0/1 (1 = obtain to file only input file header info, 0 = default) CONVERT_TO_ASCII : 0/1 (1 = convert data to ASCII format, 0 = default) CONVERT_TO_HDF5 : 0/1 (1 = convert data to HDF5 format, 0 = default) XX_VARIABLE : ... (name of longitude variable in the input file: usual name is "lon") YY_VARIABLE : ... (name of latitude variable in the input file: usual name is "lat") TIME_VARIABLE : ... (name of time variable in the input file: usual name is "time")
Remarks - if JUST_REPORT : 1 no HDF5 file will be produced regardless of the choice in CONVERT_TO_HDF5; - CONVERT_TO_ASCII : 1 should not usually be attempted because ASCII file can be potentially very large; its main use is for the application development and debugging; - if CONVERT_TO_HDF5 : 0 or if this keyword is inexistent in the input file no HDF5 file will be created; - the names in XX_VARIABLE, YY_VARIABLE and TIME_VARIABLE are expected to be the same for different NOAA reanalysis NetCDF files, i.e. "lon", "lat" and "time".
