How to save multi-dimentional array values into CSV/Test file

[shalu.ashu50 at gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am using winpy 6.3
I have this array:

code:
clt_subset = nc.variables['clt'][:,latli:latui , lonli:lonui]

print(clt_subset):
[[[  96.07967377   32.5813179    30.86773872 ...,   99.99996185
     99.99997711   99.99997711]
  [  93.75789642   86.78536987   46.51786423 ...,   99.99756622
     99.99769592   99.99931335]
  [  99.19438171   99.71717834   97.34263611 ...,   99.99707794
     99.99639893   99.93907928]
  ..., 
  [   7.65702724    1.1814307     4.02125835 ...,   39.58660126
     37.71473694   42.10451508]
  [   9.48283291   18.4249897    45.22411346 ...,   70.95629883
     72.82741547   72.89440155]
  [  33.2973175    46.50339508   88.39287567 ...,   98.50241089
     98.47457123   91.32685089]]

 [[  85.40306854   28.19069862   19.56433678 ...,   99.96898651
     99.99860382  100.        ]
  [  80.49911499   49.17562485   25.18140984 ...,   99.99198151
     99.99337006   99.99979401]
  [  99.9821167    91.44667816   78.83125305 ...,   99.99027252
     99.99280548   99.99995422]
  ..., 

so on..............

print (clt_subset.shape)
(20075, 22, 25)

I am not able to save this array into csv file with time series using datetime function. The code is here:

# 2. Specify the exact time period you want:
start = datetime.datetime(1950,1,1,0,0,0)
stop = datetime.datetime(2004,12,1,0,0,0)

istart = netCDF4.date2index(start,time_var,select='nearest')
istop = netCDF4.date2index(stop,time_var,select='nearest')
print (istart,istop)

hs = clt_subset[istart:istop,latli:latui , lonli:lonui]
tim = dtime[istart:istop]

ts = pd.Series(hs,index=tim,name=clt_subset)
ts.to_csv('time_series_from_netcdf.csv')

while executing this, saying:

Error-
  File "C:\python3\WinPython\python-3.6.5.amd64\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\series.py", line 3275, in _sanitize_array
    raise Exception('Data must be 1-dimensional')
