IPyNB Cookbooks to Create CF-Compliant NetCDF Files
20 June 2014
The IDV group recently received a request from a researcher to have the IDV display CF-compliant netCDF trajectory files. The IDV already has some limited capacity to handle these data. However, this particular request requires the IDV handle multiple trajectories in one CF-compliant file, which is currently not supported by the IDV. We would like to assist this researcher with these data.

From our support questions, it appears that the major feature of netCDF-4 attracting users to upgrade their libraries from netCDF-3 is compression. The netCDF-4 libraries inherit the capability for data compression from the HDF5 storage layer underneath the netCDF-4 interface. Linking a program that uses netCDF to a netCDF-4 library allows the program to read compressed data without changing a single line of the program source code. Writing netCDF compressed data only requires a few extra statements. And the nccopy utility program supports converting classic netCDF format data to or from compressed data without any programming.
