<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Dear Kurt,<br>
<br>
Yes you can do that using ncks from nco by specifying the subset on each dimension:<br>
<font size="+1"><code>ncks -d lon,340.0,10.0 -d lat,10.0,20.0 <a href="http://in.nc" target="_blank">in.nc</a> <a href="http://out.nc" target="_blank">out.nc</a></code></font><br>
another solution is to do ncdump -h into a file, editing the ascii to reduce dimensions and do ncgen to generate the NetCDF. By default it will fill with fillvalue, but you can also add data at the end in the ascii file.<br>
<br>
Using gdal I think it is impossible to keep the exact input structure but I'm not sure 100%.<br>
<br>
By the way, do you plan to do other improvements/big refactorings/cleanings in short term on the NetCDF driver? I still plan to finalize this<br>

I have to add unit tests to finalize this, but I have seen that your recent commits completely break my patches, but this is my fault because I should have done before, but time is missing... :-(<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Is there an easy way to make a netcdf with subdatasets but shrink it without resorting to C or Fortan?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>I'm trying to write a test for code that works with hycom netcdf global ocean circulation data. The source file 2 subdatasets:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>gdalinfo <a href="http://hycom_glb_911_2015110200_t000_uv3z.nc" target="_blank">

<div>With 40 depth bands:</div>

<div>gdalinfo NETCDF:hycom_glb_911_<a href="tel:2015110200" value="+12015110200" target="_blank">2015110200</a>_t000_uv3z.nc:water_u | grep '^Band' | head -3</div>
<div>Band 1 Block=4500x1 Type=Int16, ColorInterp=Undefined</div>
<div>Band 2 Block=4500x1 Type=Int16, ColorInterp=Undefined</div>
<div>Band 3 Block=4500x1 Type=Int16, ColorInterp=Undefined</div>
<div>I've got some code written the does things like calculate the speed in m/s from the UV and creates a geotiff, etc. The original files are much too large for using in unittests. Is there an easy way with gdal, nco or ? to keep the structure and metadata,
but create a much smaller file? I'm open to dropping all but the first two bands and writing a constant value into each band + turning on deflate compression.</div>
