Parts of a File in Classic Format
A netCDF classic or 64-bit offset file is stored in three parts. |
| 15.2 |
Classic File Format
Understanding the netCDF classic format makes clear why modifying the schema of a netCDF file may be slow. |

NetCDF Classic Performance Tips
Avoid premature optimization: worry about performance only after you determine where the bottlenecks are. |
| 15.5 |
NetCDF-4 File Format
The netCDF-4 file format, based on HDF5, is designed for high-performance with large files. |
