Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[netcdfgroup] New reference descriptions for netCDF formats

Hi,

New reference descriptions for netCDF formats have recently been added
to

  Sustainability of Digital Formats
  http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/

This web site is in use for planning for US Library of Congress
collections.

Direct links to the format descriptions are:

  NetCDF-3, Network Common Data Form, version 3
  http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000330.shtml

  NetCDF-4, Network Common Data Form, Version 4
  http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000332.shtml

  NetCDF-4C, Network Common Data Form, Version 4, Classic Model  
  http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000339.shtml

Ben Domenico and I helped review these descriptions, but credit for the
clarity, completeness, and accuracy of the information about netCDF
should go to Caroline Arms, a Library of Congress contractor and
co-compiler of the resource.  

I recommend these concise summaries of the netCDF format variants for
reference, comparison with other formats, and use in citations.
