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 (network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented data access and a collection of software libraries for C, Fortran, C++, and Perl 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 data is: - Self-Describing: A NetCDF file includes information about the data it contains. - Network-transparent: A NetCDF file is represented in a form that can be accessed by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and floating-point numbers. - Direct-access: A small subset of a large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through all the preceding data. - Appendable: Data can be appended to a NetCDF dataset along one dimension without copying the dataset or redefining its structure. The structure of a NetCDF dataset can be changed, though this sometimes causes the dataset to be copied. - Sharable: One writer and multiple readers may simultaneously access the same NetCDF file. This package contains all files needed to create projects that use the openmpi version of NetCDF.
