Version 4.4.0 of the netCDF-Fortran library is now available.

Some highlights of the 4.4.0 release:

• For 32-bit platforms fixed integer fill parameters, initialized potentially unitialized variables, and provided some missing defaults (Thanks to R. Weed).
• Fixed CMake builds on 32-bit platforms.
• Added new inq_path and rename_grps functions analogous to corresponding C functions. Added associated tests. (Thanks to R. Weed)
• Added support for NF_MPIIO, NF_MPIPOSIX, NF_PNETCDF flags and NF_FILL_UINT. (Thanks to R. Weed)
• Fixed potential bug in attribute functions for integer values when Fortran INTEGER*1 or INTEGER*2 types are the same size as C long. (Thanks to R. Weed)
• Added test for compiler support of Fortran 2008 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions and TS29113 standard extension.
• Fixed C_PTR_DIFF_T issue reported by Orion Poplowski. (Thanks to R. Weed)

Version 2.2.16 of the UDUNITS package has been released. This version is recommended for all users. The latest update can be downloaded at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/udunits.

The RAMADDA development team is pleased to announce the release of RAMADDA 1.6. The Repository for Archiving, Managing and Accessing Diverse Data (RAMADDA) is an Open Source information management and data repository framework for the geosciences that provides a turnkey system enabling data providers and users to upload, manage, and share data holdings.

Version 4.3.2 of the NetCDF-C library is now available.

Some highlights of the 4.3.2 release:

• Improved type handling with respect to fill-values.
• Enabled netCDF-4 bit-for-bit reproducibility for nccopy and other applications (thanks to Rimvydas Jasinskas and Quincey Koziol).
• Improved cmake build process.
• As part of an ongoing project, the Doxygen-generated netCDF documentation has been reorganized. The goal is to make the documentation easier to parse, and to eliminate redundant material.

Detailed information about the release is available in the Release Notes.

Source-code zip and tar.gz archives can be found on Unidata's NetCDF-C GitHub site.

Pre-built Windows binaries for use with Visual Studio) are available from this page.

Users of the netCDF FORTRAN and C++ Libraries Note

You can use the upgraded C library without upgrading your FORTRAN or C++ library.

Version 6.11.7 of the LDM has been released. It fixes a bug that caused the NOAAPORT ingest component to crash.

Here's the story:

The NOAAPORT Satellite Broadcast System contains a lot of GRIB-2 messages. Such messages require external tables in order to be interpreted. The NOAAPORT ingest component of the LDM uses the tables that come with GEMPAK to interpret GRIB-2 messages in order to generate meaningful LDM product-identifiers. Unfortunately, not all tables are complete and creators of GRIB-2 messages are free to add data for which no corresponding table-entry exists.
