Version 4.2.6 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.
The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.
From the release message:
This release continues to improve support of netCDF4 files in ncks and
ncecat, and add a sprinkle of new and convenient features to the rest
of NCO. ncks and ncecat now handle corner cases of netCDF4 groups,
dimensions, and coordinates. We perverted our own test file with
tortuous situations that all work, such as dimensions, coordinates,
and variables all being in separate groups.
ncks and ncecat now work well on many common HDF5 datasets, e.g.,
NASA AURA HIRDLS HDF-EOS5
NASA ICESat GLAS HDF5
NASA SBUV HDF5...
Additional details are available in the ChangeLog.
thanks
