Description
NCO manipulates data stored in netCDF format. It also exploits the geophysical expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata conventions, the flexible description of physical dimensions translated by UDUnits, the network transparency of OPeNDAP, the storage features (e.g., compression, chunking, groups) of HDF (the Hierarchical Data Format), and many powerful mathematical and statistical algorithms of GSL (the GNU Scientific Library). NCO is fast, powerful, and free.
Required Modules
Serial
- nco
System Variables
- HPC_NCO_DIR - installation directory
- HPC_NCo_BIN - executable binary directory
- HPC_NCO_LIB - library directory
- HPC_NCO_INC - include directory
Configuration
See the NCO_4.2 page for nco configuration details.
Installation
See the NCO_Install page for nco installation notes.
Citation
If you publish research that uses nco, you may cite it as follows:
