1.8 NetCDF Documentation

This tutorial is brief. A much more complete description of netCDF can be found in The NetCDF Users Guide. It fully describes the netCDF model and format. For more information see The NetCDF Users Guide (The NetCDF Users Guide).

The netCDF distribution, in various forms, can be obtained from the netCDF web site: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf.

A porting and installation guide for the C, C++, Fortran 77, and Fortran 90 APIs describes how to build these APIs on a variety of platforms. See The NetCDF Installation and Porting Guide (The NetCDF Installation and Porting Guide).

Language specific programming guides are available for netCDF for the C, C++, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, and Java APIs:

C

The NetCDF C Interface Guide (The NetCDF C Interface Guide).

C++

The NetCDF C++ Interface Guide (The NetCDF C++ Interface Guide).

Fortran 77

The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide).

Fortran 90

The NetCDF Fortran 90 Interface Guide (The NetCDF Fortran 90 Interface Guide).

Java

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v2.1/NetcdfJavaUserManual.htm.

Man pages for the C, F77, and F90 interfaces, and ncgen and ncdump, are available on the documentation page of the netCDF web site (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs), and are installed with the netCDF distribution.

The latest version of all netCDF documentation can always be found at the documentation page of the netCDF web site: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs
