Storing Python data output as a Netcdf file

[Lightning1800]

Hi there,

I just derived values from a 3D matrix, which contains the dimensions of time (in years), latitude (64 lines), and longitude (128 lines). The values derived are for every grid cell (latitude and longitude) for each year for 140 years (so, LOTS of values in the output). I would like to store the output data (which, again, contains values for every grid cell) as a netcdf file and wanted to know how this can be done?

Secondly, does the creation of the file affect the original structure of my dataset? If so, is it possible to preserve the data in its current state (i.e. maintain the latitude/longitude structure)?

Also, does the command need to be written at the end of my code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I Googled "python netcdf" and the third result had the title "Generating NetCDF files with Python". You should start there. For things like this, which are very specialized, you're not very likely to get a satisfying answer here unless we do what you probably could have done.

It depends on your code, but I would expect not.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by this. You can't populate the file until after you have the data that would be in it. Once you have that data ready, you can create the file at any point after that.
