copy netcdf file using python

Question

I would like to make a copy of netcdf file using Python.

There are very nice examples of how to read or write netcdf-file, but perhaps there is also a good way how

Answer 1

Since I discovered xarray, this has been my go-to tool for everything python+netCDF related

You can easily copy a netcdf file, for example:

import xarray as xr

input = xr.open_dataset('ncfile.nc')
input.to_netcdf('copy_of_ncfile.nc')
