=Introduction=
This page contains information on the NetCDF file format used for gridded (raster) outputs from a TUFLOW simulation. To specify NetCDF output from TUFLOW the 2016 version or later of TUFLOW must be used and "NC" must be included in the Map Output Data Formats, e.g.<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>Map Output Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> xmdf nc </tt><font color="green"><tt>! Output both xmdf and NetCDF formats</tt></font><br>
Additional NetCDF related commands are:<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Compression </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> {OFF} | ON | compression level <0 – 9>
</tt><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Start Date </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> {2000-01-01 00:00} | OFF | <date in isodate format>
</tt><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Time Unit </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> DAY | {HOUR} | MINUTE
</tt><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Direction </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> {ANGLE} | BEARING</tt><br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> {Generic} | FEWS</tt><br>
Please refer to the TUFLOW manual for more details on these.
=File Format=
There are currently two output formats from TUFLOW, this is controlled with the command:<br>
<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> {Generic} | FEWS</tt><br>
The file formats are very similar, but for the FEWS format an additional time dimension and time variable "static_time" are used to store a time for the maximum and time of peak data so that it loads into the FEWS interface at an appropriate time.
=Generic=
This is the default output format and can also be specified by including "<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> Generic</tt>" in the .tcf file.
=FEWS=
To output in this format users will need to specify "<font color="blue"><tt>NetCDF Output Format </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> FEWS</tt>" in the .tcf file.
