287595664 MDU6SXNzdWUyODc1OTU2NjQ= 1818 Change of file encoding when opening 1918190 closed 0     4 2018-01-10T22:13:22Z 2018-01-11T02:19:20Z 2018-01-11T02:19:20Z NONE      

I am using xarray to modify goes-16 netCDF files. I open the file, and create a new file with the same structure and attributes, but with a selected area of the data.

When I try to run this file I am having trouble with the library that I use to read the data which uses h5netcdf as library to read the data. I found that the error if because of the string encoding and changes in the netCDF C library.

My question is about xarray default behavior, should it change the encoding when opening the file?

And about a possible solution, do I have to change the encoding of any string attribute, one by one?

Here is my code

python xnc = xr.open_dataset(file) xnc = xnc.sel(y=xnc.Rad.y.values[y_l:y_r], x=xnc.Rad.x.values[x_l:x_r]) xnc.to_netcdf(nfile, format='NETCDF4_CLASSIC') nfiles.append(nfile)
