NETCDF_GLIMMER
Reading and Writing NETCDF Files of GLIMMER Data

NETCDF_GLIMMER is a directory of MATLAB programs which illustrate how to read and write NETCDF files containing GLIMMER data.

In fact, right now these functions simply open and read exactly one such file, "hump.nc", which contains data describing a solution of one of the EISMINT benchmark problems.

Source Code:

These functions are designed specifically to work with the "hump.out.nc" data file. They can be modified to work with another file.

• hump_print.m prints the data retrieved from the file.
• hump_read.m reads the data from the file.

Examples and Tests:

HUMP_TEST reads a file and prints some information.

• hump_test.m, a program which reads (most of) the data from the file, and simply prints it out.

HUMP_INPUT is data used to set up the HUMP problem.

• hump_input.nc
• hump_input_header.txt

HUMP is a generic version of the data.

• hump.nc,
• hump_header.txt, an ASCII dump of the header data in the file using NCDUMP.
• hump_output.txt, the output from running hump_test on the hump data.

HUMP_EVANS is a version of the data computed by Kate Evans.

• hump_evans.nc,
• hump_evans_header.txt, an ASCII dump of the header data in the file using NCDUMP.

HUMP_PRICE is a version of the data computed by Steve Price

• hump_price.nc,
• hump_price_header.txt, an ASCII dump of the header data in the file using NCDUMP.
