Description
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.
- Note
- Starting with version 4.4.3 the upstream project split C and Fortran NetCDF libraries, which will take different developmental paths. We are following the upstream, so we have netcdf-c and netcdf-f environment modules for 4.4.3 and later NetCDF libraries. Please load the appropriate module. Note that the Fortran module man not have all supporting binaries that netcdf-c module has.
