NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented data access and a library that provides an implementation of the interface. The NetCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. | NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented data access and a library that provides an implementation of the interface.

Note that there have been significant changes to the library with the release of version 4.0. Since this version was released in 2008, this is the one we will focus our attention on. NetCDF 4.x is backwards compatible - it can read files produced by an earlier version but the opposite isn't true. | |||
