| 86 | 86 | While the CF-1 convention examples also contain 2D "lat" and "lon" Variables containing the latitude and longitude at each data point, tests have shown that the NetCDF Java API can correctly interpret CF-1 data without these added. Thus we've chosen to make it ''optional'' to write these Variables, as they are redundant from GDAL's point of view (Lat and Lon are calculated on-the-fly), and they increase the size of a NetCDF file significantly. (E.g. if the actual band-data is stored as a 2D Byte array, but the lat and lon are stored as doubles, then the file-size can easily increase by 10X). |
