- A cross platform python-NetCDF library '''nc3'''. The most feature-rich library to access NetCDF files via python is PyNIO. Unfortunately it is unix-only. For simple needs you can use nc3 on windows.
 
 
 
- Support for 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.
 
 
 
- Support for 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-1.0 compatible files, we provide a python library '''cf1'''.
