NetCDF Overview

What is NetCDF?

NetCDF is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data. NetCDF was developed and is maintained at Unidata. Unidata provides data and software tools for use in geoscience education and research. Unidata is part of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Community Programs (UCP). Unidata is funded primarily by the National Science Foundation.

The NetCDF homepage may be found at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf. The NetCDF source-code is hosted at GitHub, and may be found directly at http://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c.

Internal Documentation

The dispatch interface within the netCDF library allows the netCDF API to be used for different types of back-ends, for example, the HDF5 library, or a DAP client accessing remote data.
