python - 使用 python 在 netcdf 文件中定义时间因变量

Question

我将解释一下我的情况:我正在尝试编辑 netcdf 文件的一些变量并写出一个新的 netcdf 文件，该文件向我显示新编辑的变量。我的问题是变量是依赖于时间的，我不知道如何将其包含在我的代码中:

import netCDF4
import numpy as np

 ncfile = netCDF4.Dataset('toread.nc', 'r')
 u = ncfile.variables['u'][:,:,:]
 v = ncfile.variables['v'][:,:,:]

 nx = np.shape(u)[0] - 1 
 ny = np.shape(v)[1] - 1 
 nz = np.shape(u)[2] 

 u_center = 0.5 * (u[0:nx,:,:] + u[1:nx+1,:,:]) 
 v_center = 0.5 * (v[:,0:ny,:] + v[:,1:ny+1,:])


 ncfile_out = netCDF4.Dataset('./output.nc', 'w')
 ncfile_out.createDimension('longitude', nx)
 ncfile_out.createDimension('latitude', ny)
 ncfile_out.createDimension('level', nz)
 u_out = ncfile_out.createVariable('u_center', 'f4', ('longitude', 'latitude', 'level'))
 v_out = ncfile_out.createVariable('v_center', 'f4', ('longitude', 'latitude', 'level'))
 u_out[:,:,:] = u_center[:,:,:]
 v_out[:,:,:] = v_center[:,:,:]
 ncfile_out.close()

我尝试编译此文件，但它显示了一个关于尺寸问题的值错误。我认为我的变量是 4D 的，包括时间依赖性，但我不知道如何定义它并完成我的代码。

你必须为时间创建另一个维度:

ncfile_out.createDimension('time', nt) # to make time dimension unlimited put None instead of nt
v_out = ncfile_out.createVariable('v_center', 'f4', ('time', 'longitude', 'latitude', 'level'))

然后添加额外的数组来存储时间值并填充它:

time = ncfile_out.createVariable('Time', 'i4', 'time')
