15.0 CDL extended for netCDF enhanced data model
CDL syntax has been extended to handle enhanced data model's primitive
types, groups, and user-defined types
Rather than cover details of the extended syntax, we'll just look at
some examples.
- ncdump and ncgen both support CDL extended to cover the netCDF-4
enhanced data model
- CDL now has the following new elements:
- extended set of atomic types
- user-defined types
- typed attributes
- groups
- "special" attributes
- Details are in the ncgen man page reference and this presentation
