Question

I would like to extract a spatial subset of a rather large netcdf file. From Loop through netcdf files and run calculations - Python or R

from pylab import          


        

Answer 1

Note that this can be accomplished even quicker on the command line using NCO's ncks.

ncks -v air -d latitude,40.,43. -d longitude,-89.,-96. infile.nc -O subset_infile.nc
