Required variables and attributes for loading .nc files #210

Closed rr5577 closed 2 years ago

rr5577 commented 3 years ago

I have a netcdf file, that was apparently generated while not using the complete specifications. When i first tried to load it with QGIS/GIS4WRF, i got a keyerror because the time dimension was spelled "time" instead of "Time". I was able to fix that by renaming the dimension using xarray. But now I´m getting another keyerror for "Times" and I´m guessing this won´t be the last one. Is there a list of required dimensions, variables or attributes that are absolutely needed to successfully load a file in GIS4WRF? So i could try to ask the file creator to revise his generated netcdf files?

Is this a wrfout file? How did you try to load the file exactly?

Closing, not related to gis4wrf. The netcdf format of WRF can be seen by opening an output file with ncdump or similar.
