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.
Environment Modules
Run module spider netcdf to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
System Variables
- HPC_NETCDF_DIR - installation directory
- HPC_NETCDF_BIN - executable binary directory
- HPC_NETCDF_LIB - library directory
- HPC_NETCDF_INC - include directory
Additional Information
To use the NETCDF library, compile the source code with the option:
- -I$HPC_NETCDF_INC
and add the following options to the link step:
- -L$HPC_NETCDF_LIB -lnetcdf
