R2013a and Beyond

With R2013a and SNCTOOLS, you can read and write netCDF-3 and netCDF-4 files in the classic model. You can also read enhanced-model files, but you should use MATLAB's native interface to create enhanced-model content if that is your wish.

First download SNCTOOLS (current as of svn commit # 4053) and check the README. Please note that your browser may unzip the download for you, so you need to be aware of that. The instructions below assume that it is not unzipped.

With R2013a you are also set to go with OPeNDAP, but you should still download version 4.3 of netcdf-java from Unidata (some people report problems with 4.3, you may wish to go further back to version 4.2 if you run into problems with it). If you have downloaded both into the same directory, you can then finish the install in matlab by changing into that directory and

    javaaddpath([pwd '/netcdfAll-4.3.jar']);
    javaaddpath ([pwd '/mexcdf/snctools/classes']);
    unzip('mexcdf.r4053.zip')  
    addpath ([pwd '/mexcdf/mexnc']);
    addpath ([pwd '/mexcdf/snctools']);
	

You can test out your installation with

    test_snctools()
