DESCRIPTION
The module r3.out.netcdf exports a 3D raster map as netCDF file. Maps
are valid 3D raster maps in the current mapset search path. The output
parameter is the name of a netCDF file that will be written in the cur-
rent working directory. The module is sensitive to mapset region set-
tings (set with g.region) and the vertical unit settings of the 3D
raster map. The vertical unit can be set with r3.support.
Note
The resulting netCDF file will have time as third dimension in case a
temporal vertical unit is specified for the input map, otherwise the
third dimension is assumed as spatial. If the 3D raster map has a time
stamp with absolute time, the start time will be used as starting point
for the netCDF time series. If the absolute time stamp is missing the
date "Jan. 01. 1900 00:00:00" will be used as default. In case of rela-
tive time stamp no start time is set in the netCDF file. The number of
depths of the 3D raster map are the number of time slices in the netCDF
file. You can use t.rast.to.rast3 to convert a space time raster
dataset into a 3D raster map representing a space time voxel cube, then
export the raster time series as netCDF file.
Spatial coordinates are exported as cell centered coordinates. The pro-
jection can be optionally stored in the metadata as crs attributes .
The netCDF projection metadata storage follows the spatial_ref
GDAL/netCDF suggestion here and the netCDF CF 1.6 convention here using
WKT projection information. Additional a PROJ string is stored in the
crs attribute section. The export of projection parameters is sup-
pressed when the XY-projection is set.
The range of the 3D raster map is set in the netCDF output file. Op-
tionally a the netCDF missing value and _FillValue can be set using the
null option. As default the netCDF floating point _FillValues are used
to fill empty cell.
The netCDF library must be installed on the system and activated at
configuration time to compile this module.
Examples
g.region s=-90 n=90 w=-180 e=180 b=0 t=5 res=10 res3=10 tbres=1 -p3
