26.0 NetCDF Operators (NCO)
NCO is a package of command line operators that manipulates generic
netCDF data and supports some CF conventions.
The NCO utilities are
- ncap2 - arithmetic processor
- ncatted - attribute editor
- ncbo - binary operator
- ncdiff - differencer
- ncea - ensemble averager
- ncecat - ensemble concatenator
- ncflint - file interpolator
- ncks - kitchen sink (extract, cut, paste, print data)
- ncpdq - permute dimensions quickly
- ncra - running averager
- ncrcat - record concatenator
- ncrename - renamer
- ncwa - weighted averager
NCO utilities have as a goal being as generic as possible, imposing no
limitations on data dimensionality, size, or type. All established
national and international climate modelling centers now install and
maintain NCO for their users for data post-processing, hyper-slabbing,
and serving.
