Problem creating ozone ancilary with Xancil

[s1374103]

Hi Helpdesk,

I have created an ozone climatology netcdf (STRAT_ozone_TS_2005_2015.nc) file and I am trying to use xancil to convert it into an ancillary file. To see my xancil setup, please see /projects/ukca-ed/kjamie/jakel/ancillaries/AR5_2000/ozone_attempt_1.job.

When I try to create the ancillary, I get the following error message;

Writing Ozone ancillary file
/projects/ukca-ed/kjamie/ancillaries/AR5_2000/straT_pre.anc
Error: in procedure get ncatt text 1: NetCDF error number -49
NetCDF: variable not found: dim1

is sounds like xancil is searching for dimension, dim1, but cannot find it, but at this point, I don't know what dim1 is.

If I do;
ncdup -h STRAT_ozone_TS_2005_2015.nc

I get the following;

dimensions:
	time = UNLIMITED ; // (12 currently)
	dim1 = 85 ;
	latitude = 145 ;
	longitude = 1 ;
	bnds = 2 ;
	string64 = 64 ;

So actually, dim1 is there, and it appears to be the vertical dimension.

I'm super confused now. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Regards,

Jamie

Hi,

This is no longer a problem, so you can close the ticket now.

I renamed the dimension, 'dim1', to 'level' and it worked.
