Re: [ferret_users] How to generate a gridded ncdf file from point data table

[Jonathan Callahan <Jonathan.S.Callahan@xxxxxxxx>]

Herve,

There are examples within the LAS distribution that show how you can store you data in a simple table in MySQL and use LAS code to extract the data and create visualizations.  Please look here:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/LASdoc/serve/cache/20.html

and also try the following after installing your default LAS (>6.41)

cd las/contrib
make insitu

This will install two tables of scattered points into a new MySQL database and set up LAS to provide access to them.  There should be enough examples there to get you started.

Hello!  (I am  rewording  my  previous request)

 

My input  is a point data file of quantitative biological data  , in a table (excel or ascii)

     - cols are:    lon, lat, depth, time, var1, var2, ... var50

     -  the number of rows is arbitrary

 

My  objective is to  feed L.A.S. I understand that I  have to convert  my  data into  my coards-compliant gridded netcdf file ,

 

This  must  be a very common problem; are there any tools or any examples available?

 

Thank you  very  much  for any help
