Overview
This import is available in DELFT-FEWS versions after 28-10-2009 (FEWS version 2009.02)
Imports grid data from NetCDF files which comply to the CF standard.
More information about the cf standards can be found at: http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.4
See also the following two other types of NetCDF-CF imports that are available:
- Time series (NETCDF-CF_TIMESERIES)
- Profiles (NETCDF-CF_PROFILE)
In DELFT-FEWS versions after version 2011.02 this import type can also be used to import data using OPeNDAP, see Import data using OPeNDAP.

Id Map Configuration
An example of the IdMapping used for the NETCDF-CF_GRID import is shown below.
<idMap version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/idMap.xsd"> <map internalParameter="Snelheid.u.F0" internalLocation="hmcn_zeedelta" externalParameter="velocity" externalLocation="hmcn_zeedelta"/> </idMap>
Grids Configuration
When importing grids in the FEWS database it may be required to configure the grid characteristics in the grids.XML file. The grid characteristics must be similar to the grid imported from the NetCDF file.
