− | '''Web Coverage Service Access from NetCDF Files.'''
| + | Back to [[WCS_Access_to_netCDF_Files]] |
| | | |
− | The goal is to provide you an easy way to publish your data in NetCDF format.
| + | This page is out of date. Go to http://aq-ogc-services.sourceforge.net |
− | | |
− | The cross-platform toolkit from data to Web Service contains:
| |
− | | |
− | * Checking the CF-1.0 compatibility of your data.
| |
− | * Creating CF-1.0 compatible NetCDF files from your data.
| |
− | * Setting up a Web Coverage Service directly from your files with no extra configuration.
| |
− | | |
− | Below are sections and descriptions to all the tools we provide. Feel free to participate!

− | == Cross Platform Python-NetCDF Library ==
| |
− | | |
− | The most feature-rich library to access NetCDF files via python is PyNIO. Unfortunately it is unix-only. That's why '''nc3''' was created. The two purposes of '''nc3''' are:
| |
− | | |
− | * Provide simple read and write access to NetCDF files.
| |
− | * WCS query: Extract a subcube from a NetCDF.
| |
− | | |
− | This is supposed to be a small library. The subcube query is supposed to be fast, everything else is supposed to be simple. If you do a lot of data processing using NetCDF or python, we recommend PyNIO. | |
− | | |
− | == NetCDF Markup Language: NCML ==
| |
− | | |
− | Creating a NetCDF file via plain API is difficult, NCML allows you to describe dimensions, variables and attributes in one xml document. This simplifies creating an empty NetCDF file a great deal.
| |
− | | |
− | Example NCML use:

− | == CF-1.0 Convention ==
| |
− | | |
− | It's not enough to have NetCDF as format, you also need to standardize the attribute names, how to store dimensions etc. To make it easy to create CF-1.x compatible files, we provide a python library '''cf1'''.
