The NASA CDF data model, to which netCDF +owes much, was developed by Michael Gough and Lloyd Treinish. Joe +Fahle designed a C version for a CDF-like interface and discussions +with Joe provided much of the inspiration for the original netCDF C +interface. The netCDF C library and first version of the Java +interface were written by Glenn Davis. The nctest test suite, ncdump, +ncgen, the original C++ interface, and most of the original User's +Guides were written by Russ Rew. The Fortran77 test code was written +by Cathy Cormack. The configure-based installation system, vars and +varm array access implementation, Fortran77 interface, and original +perl interface were written by Steve Emmerson. The netCDF-3 interface +design and the nc_test exhaustive test code were developed by +Glenn Davis and Harvey Davies. John Caron wrote the subsequent netCDF +Java implementations. The Fortran90 interface and User's Guide +were developed by Robert Pincus. Ed Hartnett updated and simplified +the configure-based installation, enhanced Windows support, refactored +the documentation while converting it into texinfo, and is the primary +developer for netCDF-4. Dennis Heimbigner wrote the netCDF-4 version +of ncgen, the C OPeNDAP client, the dispatch layer, and the +implementation of diskless files. The nccopy utility was added by Russ +Rew. Lynton Appel developed the C++ implementation for netCDF-4. +Ward Fisher overhauled netCDF release-engineering, developed a new +build-and-test framework using CMake, virtualization, and container +technologies, moved sources to GitHub, developed a Windows/Microsoft +Visual Studio port, refactored documentation for improved web access, +and merged all the documentation into the sources for maintaining with +Markdown and Doxygen. +
