@ -22,9 +22,10 @@ The atomic external types supported by the netCDF interface are:
- ::NC_UINT64 64-bit unsigned integer *
- ::NC_FLOAT 32-bit floating point
- ::NC_DOUBLE 64-bit floating point
- ::NC_STRING variable length character string *
- ::NC_STRING variable length character string +
\remark{* These types are available only for CDF5 (NC_CDF5) and netCDF-4 format (NC_NETCDF4) files. All the unsigned ints (except \ref NC_CHAR), the 64-bit ints, and string type are for CDF5 or netCDF-4 files only.}
\remark * These types are available only for CDF5 (NC_CDF5) and netCDF-4 format (NC_NETCDF4) files. All the unsigned ints (except \ref NC_CHAR) and the 64-bit ints are for CDF5 or netCDF-4 files only.
\remark + These types are available only for netCDF-4 (NC_NETCDF4) files.
These types were chosen to provide a reasonably wide range of
trade-offs between data precision and number of bits required for each
