Python is a general-purpose, interpreted high-level programming language.  Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.   Data in NetCDF format is:

  • ™ Self-Describing. A netCDF file includes information about the data it contains. ™
  • Portable. A netCDF file can be accessed by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and floating-point numbers. ™
  • Scalable. Small subsets of large datasets in various formats may be accessed efficiently through netCDF interfaces, even from remote servers. ™
  • Appendable. Data may be appended to a properly structured netCDF file without copying the dataset or redefining its structure. ™
  • Sharable. One writer and multiple readers may simultaneously access the same netCDF file. ™
  • Archivable. Access to all earlier forms of netCDF data will be supported by current and future versions of the software.
