About:
NetCDF-Fortran provides Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 APIs for reading and writing NetCDF scientific data files. It enables Fortran developers to integrate with the NetCDF library for managing multidimensional, self-describing datasets. This package is essential for scientific computing workflows requiring standardized data storage.
Key Features:
  • Fortran 77 and 90 API bindings
  • Support for netCDF-3 and netCDF-4 data formats
  • Command-line utilities for data manipulation
  • High-performance I/O for large datasets
Use Cases:
  • Climate and weather modeling data I/O
  • Oceanographic and atmospheric dataset management
  • Scientific application development in Fortran
Alternatives:
  • HDF5 – HDF5 is a more general hierarchical data format; NetCDF provides a more specialized, self-describing interface for scientific data.
