Example netCDF programs

Below we provide links to some sample netCDF programs.

Write a two-dimensional array of sample data that looks like simple_xy.cdl:
- C: simple_xy_wr.c
- Fortran 77: simple_xy_wr.f
- Fortran 90: simple_xy_wr.f90
- C++: simple_xy_wr.cpp
- Java: Simple_xy_wr.java
- Contributed: Python: simple_xy_wr.py, MATLAB: simple_xy_wr.m, Perl: simple_xy_wr.pl, IDL: simple_xy_wr.pro
- Command-line: ncgen -b simple_xy.cdl
Read data from the simple file written above:
- C: simple_xy_rd.c
- Fortran 77: simple_xy_rd.f
- Fortran 90: simple_xy_rd.f90
- C++: simple_xy_rd.cpp
- Java: Simple_xy_rd.java
- Contributed: Python: simple_xy_rd.py, MATLAB: simple_xy_rd.m, Perl: simple_xy_rd.pl, IDL: simple_xy_rd.pro
- Command-line: ncdump simple_xy.nc
Write some variables with units attributes and coordinate dimensions that will look like sfc_pres_temp.cdl:
- C: sfc_pres_temp_wr.c
- Fortran 77: sfc_pres_temp_wr.f
- Fortran 90: sfc_pres_temp_wr.f90
- C++: sfc_pres_temp_wr.cpp
- Java: Sfc_pres_temp_wr.java
- Contributed: Python: sfc_pres_temp_wr.py, MATLAB: sfc_pres_temp_wr.m, Perl: sfc_pres_temp_wr.pl, IDL: sfc_pres_temp_wr.pro
- Command-line: ncgen -b sfc_pres_temp.cdl
Read data variables and attributes from the file written above:
- C: sfc_pres_temp_rd.c
- Fortran 77: sfc_pres_temp_rd.f
- Fortran 90: sfc_pres_temp_rd.f90
- C++: sfc_pres_temp_rd.cpp
- Java: Sfc_pres_temp_rd.java
- Contributed: Python: sfc_pres_temp_rd.py, MATLAB: sfc_pres_temp_rd.m, Perl: sfc_pres_temp_rd.pl, IDL: sfc_pres_temp_rd.pro
- Command-line: ncdump sfc_pres_temp.nc
Write some four-dimensional variables using a record dimension in a file that will look like pres_temp_4D.cdl:
- C: pres_temp_4D_wr.c
- Fortran 77: pres_temp_4D_wr.f
- Fortran 90: pres_temp_4D_wr.f90
- C++: pres_temp_4D_wr.cpp
- Java: Pres_temp_4D_wr.java
- Contributed: Python: pres_temp_4D_wr.py, MATLAB: pres_temp_4D_wr.m, Perl: pres_temp_4D_wr.pl, IDL: pres_temp_4D_wr.pro
- Command-line: ncgen -b pres_temp_4D.cdl
Read from the variables in the file written above:
- C: pres_temp_4D_rd.c
- Fortran 77: pres_temp_4D_rd.f
- Fortran 90: pres_temp_4D_rd.f90
- C++: pres_temp_4D_rd.cpp
- Java: Pres_temp_4D_rd.java
- Contributed: Python: pres_temp_4D_rd.py, MATLAB: pres_temp_4D_rd.m, Perl: pres_temp_4D_rd.pl, IDL: pres_temp_4D_rd.pro
- Command-line: ncdump pres_temp_4D.nc
Copy any netCDF classic or 64-bit offset file, using only the netCDF-3 API:
- C: nccopy3.c
Copy any netCDF file, using the netCDF-4 API:
- C: nccopy4.c
