            |  | 4 | netCDF format support (decode/encode) is not complete enough in rasdaman. In particular decode and encode are not mapped 1:1 - the netcdf output only exports a single array variables, while ignoring dimension variables and any additional metadata. | 
          
            |  | 5 |  | 
          
            |  | 6 | The metadata and dimension variables can be preserved on netCDF export in conjunction with WCSTImport and petascope. | 
          
            |  | 7 |  | 
          
            |  | 8 | The netCDF file below is used as an example. |
