scientific data access and a freely-distributed software library 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. The current netCDF software
provides C interfaces for applications and data. Separate software

platforms.

NetCDF files are self-describing, network-transparent, directly
accessible, and extendible. `Self-describing` means that a netCDF file
includes information about the data it contains. `Network-transparent`
means that 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` means that a small subset of a
large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through
all the preceding data. `Extendible` means that data can be appended to
a netCDF dataset without copying it or redefining its structure.

NetCDF is useful for supporting access to diverse kinds of scientific
data in heterogeneous networking environments and for writing
application software that does not depend on application-specific
formats. For information about a variety of analysis and display
