NetCDF-4 and the NetCDF Library APIs
The new netCDF-4 features are supported (somewhat) in all four netCDF library APIs, C/C++/F77/F90. But Fortran users face challenges. |
| 12.1 |
Introduction to NetCDF-4 Features
There are many new features in netCDF-4. |
| 12.2 |
Some New NetCDF-4 Functions
Many new functions have been added to the netCDF-4 API, here are some of them. |
| 12.3 |
Using the Classic Model
NetCDF-4 files can be created with an enforced restriction: to follow the classic model. |
| 12.4 |
Parallel I/O in NetCDF-4
NetCDF-4 exposes the parallel I/O features of HDF5. |
| 12.5 |
Parallel I/O Example
This example is from nc_test4/tst_parallel.c, and is run by make check on platforms with MPI/IO support. |
| 12.6 |
Chunking in NetCDF-4
NetCDF-4 allows chunking, which helps I/O performance. |
| 12.7 |
Per-Variable Compression in NetCDF-4
NetCDF-4 features allows you to set compression on a per variable basis. |
| 12.8 |
New Atomic Types in NetCDF-4
New types have been added to netCDF-4. |
| 12.9 |
The New String Type in NetCDF-4
The string type can efficiently store arrays of variable length strings. |
| 12.10 |
Automatic enddef and redef in NetCDF-4
There is no need to call the enddef or redef functions for netCDF-4 files. |
| 12.11 |
Multiple Unlimited Dimensions in NetCDF-4
It is possible to have more than one unlimited dimension in a netCDF-4/HDF5 file. |
