Hello CFers,
A few months ago I introduced ncdismember, a script that uses the
netCDF Operators (NCO) to dismember hierarchical netCDF-compliant
files into netCDF3-compliant (flat-) files, then calls CFChecker
on those. It is a simple (one-line) procedure that checks
CF-compliance of all groups in hierarchical netCDF4/HDF5 files.
The recent releases of NCO 4.4.0 and netCDF 4.3.1-rc7 bring
significant new features to ncdismember...
1. Works on all groups in netCDF4/HDF5 files. Not only leaf groups.
2. Works on HDF4 files. No prior conversion to netCDF necessary.
3. Automatically translates input to netCDF3-supported types (e.g.,
nc_string->nc_char, nc_ubyte->nc_short).
4. Is faster: Uses CFChecker batch mode and avoids temporary output.
Example input (*.nc, *.hdf, *.h5, *.he5) and output (*.txt):

Feedback welcome on relevant NCO SourceForge forum

Enjoy,
Charlie
