How can I write concise global attributes into netcdf files

[shifei]

The global attributes are too long, and I want concise ones in the NETCDF files.
Thanks for your advises.

You are talking about the ROMS output files? They are set in def_info.F:

Code: Select all

!  Define global attributes.

This is absurd. In never heard anything like it. The buffer for the global attributes is extremely smaaaaaaall compared with the data. Obviously, you need to read more about the NetCDF files and its unique format. You cannot remove the global attributes in any of the ROMS history file because the model will check out such attributes for consistency during restart.

This attributes gives the user the capability to reproduce the results if so desired latter on.
