SOURCE: ROYAL NETHERLANDS METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (KNMI) station': 'De Kooij' station_number': 235 Converted to netcdf from https://www.knmi.nl/nederland-nu/klimatologie/uurgegevens for the purpose of background meteo data for the SEDMEX field campaign. See the variable attributes of the netcdf for explanation of units and interpretation of variable names. There are several ways to work with / inspect netcdf's. For example, but not limited to, the xarray python package or the native netcdf read functionality of Matlab. in Python: import xarray as xr ds = xr.open_dataset(meteo_sedmex.nc) print(ds.attrs) ds.FX.plot() in Matlab: da = ncread(meteo_sedmex.nc); ncdump(ds)
