NETCDF
Reading and Writing NETCDF Files


NETCDF is a directory of MATLAB programs which illustrate the use of the NETCDF library and file format.

NETCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a set of software libraries and machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

Licensing:

Languages:

NETCDF is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN77 version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.

Related Programs:

CDL, a data directory of examples of CDL files, a text version of NETCDF files created by the NCDUMP program;

GFD2, a dataset directory which contains geophysical data, stored in NetCDF format.

GFD2, a directory of MATLAB programs which simulate geophysical fluid dynamics.

NETCDF a data directory which contains examples of NETCDF files, a format for the interchange of scientific data.

NETCDF_MPAS MATLAB programs which read and write MPAS grid data stored as NETCDF files.

Examples and Tests:

SIMPLE_XY_WR writes data to a NETCDF file. The data is a simple two-dimensional array.

SIMPLE_XY_RD reads data from a NETCDF file.

SFC_PRES_TEMP_WR writes data to a NETCDF file. The data will include units attributes and coordinate dimensions.

SFC_PRES_TEMP_RD reads data from a NETCDF file.

PRES_TEMP_4D_WR writes data to a NETCDF file. The data will be four-dimensional and use a record dimension.

PRES_TEMP_4D_RD reads data from a NETCDF file.
