在netcdf文件中重命名维度

我是 nco 的初学者，我希望对我的工作流程提出一些建议，并对我遇到的问题提供一些帮助 .

我有these data，它包含两个不同时间步的3D盐度值：

dimensions:
    t = 780 ;
    z = 54 ;
    y = 450 ;
    x = 3600 ;
variables:
    double time(t) ;
        time:units = "days since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0" ;
    float level(z) ;
        level:units = "[m]" ;
    float lat(y) ;
    float lon(x) ;
    float salt(x, y, z) ;
        salt:units = "psu * 1000 + 35" ;
        salt:missingvalue = "-1.0E34" ;
        salt:longname = "salinity" ;

我想连接两个netcdf文件 .

为此，我首先使用 ncecat *.nc -O merged.nc ：

dimensions:
    record = UNLIMITED ; // (2 currently)
    t = 780 ;
    z = 54 ;
    y = 450 ;
    x = 3600 ;
variables:
    double time(record, t) ;
        time:units = "days since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0" ;
    float level(record, z) ;
        level:units = "[m]" ;
    float lat(record, y) ;
    float lon(record, x) ;
    float salt(record, x, y, z) ;
        salt:units = "psu * 1000 + 35" ;
        salt:missingvalue = "-1.0E34" ;
        salt:longname = "salinity" ;

现在变量 time 和维度 t 是假的 . 所以，我用 ncks -O -x -v time merged.nc merged.nc 删除它们：

record = UNLIMITED ; // (2 currently)
    y = 450 ;
    z = 54 ;
    x = 3600 ;
variables:
    float lat(record, y) ;
    float level(record, z) ;
        level:units = "[m]" ;
    float lon(record, x) ;
    float salt(record, x, y, z) ;
        salt:units = "psu * 1000 + 35" ;
        salt:missingvalue = "-1.0E34" ;
        salt:longname = "salinity" ;

现在，我想将维度 record 重命名为： ncrename -d record,time merged.nc . 该命令运行时没有错误或警告 . 但当我做 ncdump -h merged.nc 时，我得到了 error ：

ncdump：merged.nc：NetCDF：HDF错误

这是什么意思？我哪里做错了？

EDIT

按照Charlie Zender发布的答案

ncecat -O -u time *.nc merged.nc
ncks -O -x -v time merged.nc merged.nc

造成：

dimensions:
    time = UNLIMITED ; // (2 currently)
    y = 450 ;
    z = 54 ;
    x = 3600 ;
    t = 780 ;
variables:
    float lat(time, y) ;
    float level(time, z) ;
        level:units = "[m]" ;
    float lon(time, x) ;
    float salt(time, x, y, z) ;
        salt:units = "psu * 1000 + 35" ;
        salt:missingvalue = "-1.0E34" ;
        salt:longname = "salinity" ;
    double time(time, t) ;
        time:units = "days since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0" ;
