Version 4.3.7 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.
The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.
From the release message:
The current release is a milestone in NCO interoperability.
NCO now supports HDF4 files natively. This was last true in 2001!
NSF-funded harmonization of netCDF with HDF made this possible.
With few exceptions, all NCO features work natively on HDF4 files.
One can now often avoid the tedious step of creating intermediate
netCDF files to perform, e.g., running averages on. ncks produces
more faithful conversions of HDF4→netCDF than ncl_convert2nc.
Interoperability feature #2 is that ncks will produce complete
XML (NcML) translations of netCDF (3 and 4) and HDF (4 and 5) files.
Finally, this release brings fuller netCDF4 support to ncrename.
NCO must be built with netCDF 4.3.1 or later to take advantage of
ncrename's group renaming feature.
Additional details are available in the ChangeLog.
very nice
