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 current working directory. The module is sensitive  to  mapset
       region  settings  (set with g.region) and the vertical unit settings of the 3D raster map.
       The vertical unit can be set with r3.support.

NOTES

       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 relative 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  projection  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  suppressed  when  the
       XY-projection is set.

       The  range  of the 3D raster map is set in the netCDF output file. Optionally 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.
