Reading only some points in time

[Praveen Rao]

Hello everyone,

Im reading following dataset:

netcdf D:/praveen_data/ERA heatflux-geopot/geopotenial_2-5D.nc {

 dimensions:

   longitude = 144;

   latitude = 73;

   level = 23;

   time = 420;

 variables:

   double z(time=420, level=23, latitude=73, longitude=144);

    }

As data is too big to read at once, I thought of picking only seasonal data. I have made a vector of all the months I want to read example: ssl_in=[1 2 6 ....420];

So now I tried using 'stride' parameter of time to extract only months indicated by ssl_in, but doesnt give me expected output.

Code:

msl=ds.data(param,[1 1 lat2_in lon1_in],[ds.size('time') 23 lat1_in lon2_in],[ssl_in 1 1 1]);

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
