Re: Binary 2 netCDF
Hi David,
it seems like you're trying to read binary big_endian files with
Ferret on a DEC system. Well, I tried several times too and it never
worked (I don't know if Ferret can do it, Steve, Ed ??).
I know of 2 ways to fix this :
1) Recreate your binary files in direct access form and use the
qualifier /form=stream instead of /form=unf in the Ferret "file"
command
2) Recreate your binary files in little_endian format and still use
/form=stream instead of /form=unf but now you also need to add
the qualifier /skip=1 in the file command in order to skip the
record-length byte.
Then Ferret should be able to read your files. This is what I did
on DELL PC working under Linux. It's quite empirical but it works!
Good luck.
