output=name [required]
Name for netCDF output file
null=float
The value to be used for null values, default is the netCDF standard
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.
