Hi, You could also use the "-v" option of ncdump to display just the values of the latitude variable. For example, if your netCDF file is named "foo.nc", ncdump -v latitude foo.nc will output in ASCII the values for the latitude coordinate variable. If you just want the structure of the file (the metadata) including the values for all coordinate variables, use the "-c" option: ncdump -c foo.nc --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: UEP-102961 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
