I have a variable which has the dimensions time x lat x lon x levels and I am trying to read this in my global climate model. The problem I am facing is that the data is scaled and offset in the original file and it is a hassle to incorporate this inside the model. I want to modify the file so that the original data without any scaling or offset is available to read in the climate model.
You can use the following syntax to unpack the scale and offset in the data
ncpdq --unpack input_file.nc out_file.nc
The file out_file.nc will contain the actual values without any scaling or offset
