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.

Re: [netcdfgroup] How old is NetCDF?

Hi Jennifer,

Glenn Davis and I developed and released netCDF 1.0 in June, 1989.

Here's a brief description
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/background.html> of the
background and evolution of the netCDF C interface, mentioning how others
were involved (Lloyd Treinish, Michael Gough, Dave Raymond, Joe Fahle,
Angel Li, and Dave Fulker). I still have a printed copy of the original
user guide, published as NCAR Technical Note TN-334+1A, from June 1989,
"netCDF User'sGuide, An Interface for Data Access, Version 1.0"

I sent an earlier email proposing the first Unidata netCDF C interface
specification for comments in September 1988, before Glenn and I
implemented the software it described, but I no longer have a copy of that
email.
