Individual records may not be more than 255 characters long. Leading blanks at the beginning of each record are removed before The data descriptor file is free format, which means theĬomponents of each record (line of text) are blank delimited and can appear NetCDF and HDF-SDS Descriptor File Components The 'open' interface is the only way to read HDF5 files. Values, or the variables in the file have been packed in a non-standard way. Onto a non-lat/lon grid, the variables in the file have different undefined The 'open' interface is recommended if youĪre templating large numbers of data files together, the data are pre-projected Please also see the reference page Elements Guidance for composingĪ complete descriptor file for NetCDF, HDF-SDS, or HDF5 gridded data files is given below. This requires the user to write a complete GrADSĭescriptor file to override all the metadata in the file. The 'xdfopen' interface does not support the HDF5 format. Number of SDFs, including many that do not conform to any known standard. The xdfopen command provides access to a greater Used with xdfopen is not exactly the same as that used in a descriptor fileįor gridded binary data - see the documentation

Metadata so that GrADS can understand it. You must write a data descriptor file to supplement or replace the existing This requires a bit more effort for the user. The 'sdfopen' interface does not support the HDF5 format. In the file that GrADS requires must conform to theĬonventions. If you use the sdfopen command to open your SDF, then all the metadata User - simply provide the file name (or an OPeNDAP URL) and GrADS does the This requires the least amount of effort for the There are three waysĬommand to open the file.

In order to read the data in SDFs, GrADS needs a certain amount of metadata in order to place the data GrADS handles HDF4 Scientific Data Sets and (as of version 2.0.a7) some HDF5 files.

The HDF format is very general the GrADS interface is limited to gridded data sets that fit into the internal 5-D lon/lat/lev/time/ensemble grid space. GrADS can read data NetCDF and HDF formatted files, as long as the data are on a regular grid. Self-describing files (SDF) because the data and metadata are packaged together Data files in the NetCDF and HDF file formats are called
