Package ucar.nc2.dt Description

Scientific data types package.

These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific datatype" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:

1. Datatype: atomic datatype usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
2. Collection: a homogenous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
3. Dataset: usually a Collection of a particular Datatype.

A TypedDataset and TypedVariable are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.
