Filter and convert HDF5 attributes to NetCDF-4 attributes.

NetCDF-4 uses several internal HDF5 attributes that should not be exposed to users:

  • _NCProperties: file provenance metadata
  • _Netcdf4Dimid: dimension ID assignment
  • _Netcdf4Coordinates: coordinate variable tracking
  • DIMENSION_LIST: dimension-to-variable references
  • REFERENCE_LIST: variable-to-dimension back-references
  • CLASS: dimension scale marker
  • NAME: dimension scale name
