NetcdfHandler

class konrad.netcdf.NetcdfHandler(filename, rce)

A netCDF file handler.

Note

The netCDF handler typecasts variables from double into float in order to save disk space. Developers need to convert variables back into double when implementing konrad.component.Component.from_netcdf() methods for model components.

Usage:

>>> rce = konrad.RCE(...)
>>> nc = NetcdfHandler('output.nc', rce)  # create output file
>>> nc.write()  # write (append) current RCE state to file
