The lat/lon variables are not especially large, so I can't imagine it would drastically change your file size to convert them to floats, but you could probably do it with one of the netcdf operators; I bet ncks will convert them, or if your file isn't too big you could do it with an ncdump-->edit the output-->ncgen.</div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 11, 2014, at 5:15 PM, Andrew Friedman wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi GrADS users,<br><br>Do you know how the dimensions of a variable created using sdfwrite can be changed to floating point?<br><br>'set sdfwrite -flt’ changes the output variable to floating point, but still leaves the dimensions as double precision.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Andrew<br><br><br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Andrew Friedman<br>Graduate student, UC Berkeley Geography<br><a href="mailto:andfried@berkeley.edu">andfried@berkeley.edu</a><br>_______________________________________________<br>gradsusr mailing list<br>gradsusr@gradsusr.org<br>http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
