Do I need to do it using the ncml file? > Yes, you can do it in the ncml file, I don't know which variable you want to modify, if this variable named T, you can <variable name="T"> <attribute name="scale_factor" type="float" value="100.0f" /> </variable> what it does is to modify the attribute named scale_factor to a different value, and keep all others the same as originals.
