MEXNC is a mex-file interface to NetCDF files for MATLAB. In simple terms, it is a set of files (mex and .m files) that allows Matlab to read and write NetCDF files, which are the standard input and output files of ROMS.
HERE is a link to the MEXNC project page.
How to install MEXNC?
You have to download the MEXNC version that matches BOTH, your specific Matlab version and your operating system.
- First determine what Matlab version you have by typing on the Matlab command line:version('-release')
- Then, go to the download area, scroll down and click on your Matlab version (verify that you operating system is listed as an option).
- Download the latest release
- Extract (i.e. unzip or unpack) the file in a location where it can stay indefinitely
- In Matlab, add the path of your recently extracted mexnc directory. To do this...
- Click on File > Set Path... (a GUI will pop-up)
- Click on the Add with Subfolders... button, and add the path to your new mexnc folder
- Click on the Save button, and close the GUI
- If you are using WINDOWS operating system (I don't know if other too), you will have to add the netcdf.dll file to your Matlab system directory. To do this...
- Go to your recently extracted mexnc directory and go inside the win32 folder...
- Copy the netcdf.dll file and PASTE it in on (or both) or the following directories:C:\MATLAB\bin
and/or
C:\MATLAB\bin\win32
In the example above, C:\MATLAB is the location where matlab is located, but this may be different in your computer.
- Add the path to the directory(ies) above (i.e. C:\MATLAB\bin and C:\MATLAB\bin\win32) to
