[gdal-dev] How to change variable names in netCDF?

[Etienne Tourigny]

If you use gdal-1.9 the driver will use the variable name from the
original netcdf file (if any).

for example, if you use the following command the original filename
will be preserved.
gdal_translate -of netcdf in.nc out.nc

However, if copying from other formats (such as gtiff), or creating a
new netcdf file, there is no way to change the variable name with
gdal.

You can use other tools such as:
NCO -> nco.sourceforge.net/
cdo ->https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo
