public class NetcdfDataset
extends NetcdfFile

NetcdfDataset extends the netCDF API, adding standard attribute parsing such as scale and offset, and explicit support for Coordinate Systems. A NetcdfDataset wraps a NetcdfFile, or is defined by an NcML document.

Be sure to close the dataset when done. Using statics in NetcdfDatets, best practice is to use try-with-resource:

 try (NetcdfDataset ncd = NetcdfDatasets.openDataset(fileName)) {
   ...
 }
 

By default @code NetcdfDataset} is opened with all enhancements turned on. The default "enhance mode" can be set through setDefaultEnhanceMode(). One can also explicitly set the enhancements you want in the dataset factory methods. The enhancements are:

• ConvertEnums: convert enum values to their corresponding Strings. If you want to do this manually, you can call Variable.lookupEnumString().
• ConvertUnsigned: reinterpret the bit patterns of any negative values as unsigned.
• ApplyScaleOffset: process scale/offset attributes, and automatically convert the data.
• ConvertMissing: replace missing data with NaNs, for efficiency.
• CoordSystems: extract CoordinateSystem using the CoordSysBuilder plug-in mechanism.

Automatic scale/offset processing has some overhead that you may not want to incur up-front. If so, open the NetcdfDataset without ApplyScaleOffset. The VariableDS data type is not promoted and the data is not converted on a read, but you can call the convertScaleOffset() routines to do the conversion later.

Factory method for opening a NetcdfFile through the netCDF API. May be any kind of file that can be read through the netCDF API, including OpenDAP and NcML.

This does not necessarily return a NetcdfDataset, or enhance the dataset; use NetcdfDatasets.openDataset() method for that.

Parameters:

location - location of dataset. This may be a

1. local filename (with a file: prefix or no prefix) for netCDF (version 3), hdf5 files, or any file type registered with NetcdfFile.registerIOProvider().
2. OpenDAP dataset URL (with a dods:, dap4:, or http: prefix).
3. NcML file or URL if the location ends with ".xml" or ".ncml"
4. NetCDF file through an HTTP server (http: prefix)
5. thredds dataset (thredds: prefix), see DataFactory.openDataset(String location, ...));

buffer_size - RandomAccessFile buffer size, if <= 0, use default size
