sci@gentoo.org Gentoo Science Project NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is an interface for 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. This is the FORTRAN 77 and 90 library on top of the C library.
