[R] Remove attribute from netcdf4 object

Wed Aug 2 15:45:14 CEST 2017

Hi Marc

That's a workaround I can use. Thanks. I'm a newbie regarding netCDF data. Is there any information I'm losing when switching between the packages?

ok. Sorry, I didn't understood good.
I don't think you can do it in ncdf4 functions. The only solution would be to open it in RNetCDF, delete the attribute, save it and then open it in ncdf4.

Dear Marc

Thanks for your remark. I don't want to use both packages. I mentioned the package RNetCDF to show that there is a similar function I' d like to use.

Dear all

For a model I need to combine several netCDF files into one (which works fine). For better overview I'd like to delete/remove some of the attributes. Is there a simple way doing this?

I'm using the package netcdf4, which creates an object of class(nc) = "ncdf4". It seems that for earlier versions of netcdf objects, there was the function att.delete.nc{RNetCDF}. But this functions returns the following error, when applied to ncdf4-classes:

Error: class(ncfile) == "NetCDF" is not TRUE
You should use package ncdf4 or package RNetCDF, but not mixed both.
Marc

Thanks a lot for any help.

Kind regards
