Checklist for preparing data files
- If you have a data file that is in binary punch (bpch) file format, then create a netCDF file from the bpch file.
- Once you have a netCDF file, determine which elements of the file are not compliant with the COARDS conventions
- Edit non-conforming variable names, variable attributes, and/or global attributes to make them COARDS-compliant.
- Regrid the data (if necessary).
- Crop the data (e.g. if you are using a nested-grid simulation).
- Chunk and deflate the file to reduce file size and improve I/O performance.
