Cannot find band information in file created using ncl

by gmansi_107 » Sat May 06, 2023 7:04 am America/New_York

I created nc file, which contains average of MODIS-A 8-day composite data files, using ncra (ncl average function). But I am the new file doesn't show any band in SeaDAS because of which I am unable get the data map in SeaDAS. The file has the information because I am able to plot it in all the other platforms.
How do I make the new file compatible with SeaDAS. I am unable to attach the file with the question for reference.

Can you put your file in the cloud such as Google Drive?

It would help to provide enough detail so others can reproduce the issue: OS, ncl version, ncl command-line used.

SeaDAS NetCDF files follow the CF (Climate and Forecast) metadata conventions. These are newer than NCL. When I used NCL for a project years ago (also doing time averages), extra steps were needed to rename variables and attributes to use CF names.
