1 What is NetCDF?
NetCDF is a set of data formats, programming interfaces, and software
libraries that help read and write scientific data files.
NetCDF was developed and is maintained at Unidata, part of the
University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Office of
Programs (UOP). Unidata is funded primarily by the National Science
Foundation.
Unidata provides data and software tools for use in geoscience
education and research. For more information see the web sites of
Unidata (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu), UOP (http://www.uop.ucar.edu),
and UCAR (http://www.ucar.edu).
This tutorial may serve as an introduction to netCDF. Full netCDF
documentation is available on-line (see Documentation).
