NetcdftoMatlab

Installing NETCDF for matlab

• First try:
• FAQ: http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/faq.html
• Instructions: http://mexcdf.sourceforge.net/downloads/windows_setup.html
• extracted mexnc-w32-r14-2.0.19.zip to c:/MATLAB7/toolbox/local/Netcdf and set matlab path to there
• copied netcdf.dll to both C:\path\to\matlab\bin and its subdirectory win32
• copied mexnc.dll to same dirs and suppressed original
• extracted snctools-2.3.4.zip in c:/MATLAB7/toolbox/local/Netcdf and set matlab path to there
• extracted netcdf-3.6.1-win32 to c:/Program Files/Netcdf
• extracted netcdf_toolbox-1.0.11.zip
• Installed ncBrowse (Don Dembo)
• http://www.epic.noaa.gov/java/ncBrowse/
• Test: ctd1=netcdf('e:/WOCEData/P21/p21e_00004_00001.nc')
• Plantage: had to change the path order to get mexnc executed appropriately
• WOCE files:
• See files in e:/WOCEData/: and script e:/Ml/Routines/Netcdfperso/woce_read_test.m
• http://www.coaps.fsu.edu/WOCE/html/wcdtools.htm
• apparently inqnc and getnc are both in the CSIRO netcdf toolbox
• Installation CSIRO netcdf/opendap:
• see doc: file:///E:/Ml/Netcdfperso/matlab-netcdf.html
• http://www.marine.csiro.au/sw/matlab-netcdf.html; follow instruction (set matlab path to the installation folders and run test.m in the subdirectory test.)
• Tests: file:///e:/Ml/Netcdfperso/woce_read_test.m
• Installation of old Netcdf toolbox for CSIRO routines
• from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=119464&package_id=130912&release_id=425915
• download, expand, add to the matlab path
• CARS and routines
• had to modify getchunk.m for dims function
• had to modify get_clim_cast.m to set the path to files
