[Hacktoberfest 2021] Contribute filters to the netCDF-Java Zarr project

13 October 2021

Looking for Java developers and Hacktoberfest contributors!

NetCDF-Java recently completed work on beta read support for Zarr data formats. Part of the Zarr project is the implementation of compressors and filters (codecs). Currently, netCDF-Java includes implementation of Shuffle, Deflate/Zlib, 32-bit Checksums, and FixedScaleOffset, but we're still missing some!

If you have developed or are interested in developing filters in Java, we would love to have you contribute! Learn more about how to contribute here.

Thank you for considering contributing!

NetCDF poster presented at 2011 EGU meeting

18 April 2011

A few weeks ago I attended the European Geoscience Union conference in Vienna. I learned a lot and talked to dozens of scientists and programmers about netCDF - it was very fun! The poster I presented can be found on our website, and gives an overview of the new features added to netCDF in the last few years (since the 2008 netcdf-4 release).
