NetCDF-4 NetCDF-4
NetCDF-4 is the next major upgrade to the netCDF standard. While supporting full backward compatibility, it allows users to read and write HDF5 files with the netCDF API, including support for groups, user-defined types, per-variable compression, and parallel I/O.
Getting Started with NetCDF-4
The freely available 4.0 release can be obtained as a gzipped tar file or compressed tar file.
