can anyone explain to how to implement the following method:
Using ncks, TRMM data can be downloaded with one NetCDF file, for example,
ncks -O --mk_rec_dmn time -v r -d time,0,5 -d lon,236.,294. -d lat,23.0,49.0 http://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov:80/dods/3B42_V7_daily outfile_trmm.nc
or,
The chunking *along time* would be done, i.e.:
ncks -O --mk_rec_dmn time -v r -d time,0,5 -d lon,236.,294. -d lat,23.0,49.0
http://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov:80/dods/3B42_V7_daily trmm1.nc
ncks -O --mk_rec_dmn time -v r -d time,6,10 -d lon,236.,294. -d lat,23.0,49.0
http://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov:80/dods/3B42_V7_daily trmm2.nc
ncrcat trmm1.nc trmm2.nc out.nc
ncks can be downloaded from, http://nco.sourceforge.net/
