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.

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