NCVIEW Installations on Tetralith & Sigma

ncview is a visual browser for netCDF format files. Typically you would use ncview to get a quick and easy, push-button look at your netCDF files.

How to run

Load the ncview module corresponding to the version you want to use, e.g

module load ncview/2.1.7-nsc1

This will add the ncview application to your search path.

To run ncview interactively, allocate a compute node for interactive use and then run "ncview". E.g

interactive -N1 --exclusive -t 00:30:00
module load ncview/2.1.7-nsc1
ncview ifile.nc

When running the ncview GUI, NSC recommends using ThinLinc to access Tetralith.
