The best way to get ParaView to read grid information from a netCDF file is to follow the CF convention for specifying that a variable (with the same name as its dimension) should be interpreted as latitude, you should give it a units
attribute that is something like degrees_north
. For example, if you have a dimension named lat
, you need a variable named lat
with single dimension lat
that has the latitude values and has a units
attribute set to degrees_north
. Likewise longitude should be given a units
attribute that is something like degrees_east
. For more information you can see this previous post asking a similar question on latitude and longitude in netCDF and the netCDF CF convention’s specification for coordinates. If this does not make sense, you will have to send some example files or at least the results of ncdump -h
for more directed advice.
For the second question, if the two data sets in question have the same number of points and cells in the same order, you can use the Append Attributes
filter to get the fields of one grid onto another.
