WaterFrame.to_nc(path, nc_format=“NETCDF4”)

Reference

It saves the WaterFrame into a NetCDF.

Parameters

• path: Path to save the NetCDF (str).
• nc_format: Specify the NetCDF format (NETCDF3_64BIT, ‘NETCDF3_CLASSIC’, NETCDF4, NETCDF4_CLASSIC) (str).
  • NETCDF4: Data is stored in an HDF5 file, using netCDF4 API features.
  • NETCDF4_CLASSIC: Data is stored in an HDF5 file, using only netCDF 3 compatible API features.
  • NETCDF3_64BIT: 64-bit offset version of the netCDF 3 file format, which fully supports 2+ GB files, but is only compatible with clients linked against netCDF version 3.6.0 or later.
  • NETCDF3_CLASSIC: The classic netCDF 3 file format. It does not handle 2+ GB files very well.

Returns

• True: If the internal functions of this method do not raise any error, the return is always true (bool).

Example

To reproduce the example, download the NetCDF file here and save it as example.nc in the same python script folder.

import mooda as md

path_netcdf = "example.nc"  # Path of the NetCDF file

wf = md.read_nc_emodnet(path_netcdf)

# Print parameters
print(f"WaterFrame original parameters: {(', ').join(wf.parameters)}")
# Delete all parameters except 'TEMP'
wf2 = wf.use_only('TEMP', inplace=False)
print(f"New WaterFrame parameters: {(', ').join(wf.parameters)}")


# Save the new wf into a NetCDF with the name "example_TEMP.nc"
wf2.to_nc("example_TEMP.nc")
print("NetCDF created.")

Output:

WaterFrame original parameters: DEPH, ATMS, CNDC, DRYT, PRES, PSAL, SVEL, TEMP, WDIR, WSPD
New WaterFrame parameters: DEPH, ATMS, CNDC, DRYT, PRES, PSAL, SVEL, TEMP, WDIR, WSPD
NetCDF created.
