  User-Contributed netCDF Software

Unidata <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/> makes available for anonymous
FTP (in <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/>) a collection
of files of freely available, user-contributed software and
documentation related to the netCDF library. Unidata hasn't
necessarily tested this software and makes it available as is. This
catalog of user-contributed software is available to World Wide Web
clients from
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/Contrib.html>.

Criteria for software or documentation that is appropriate for the
user-contributed collection:

    * General usefulness to a significant part of the netCDF community
    * Small size
    * Infrequent need for updates
    * Free availability

Other netCDF-related software packages or utilities that do not meet
these criteria (for example large freely-available packages or
commercial software) are listed in
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html>.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what is currently available:

aix-sharable <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/aix-sharable>
    Dan Packman's script that will convert "libnetcdf.a" to a shared
    library on AIX (IBM RS6000). Also includes instructions for

ccm2nc <http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/ccm3/tools/>
    A program to efficiently convert files in Community Climate Model
    (CCM) history tape format to netCDF following the CSM netCDF
    conventions. This tool can handle CCM histroy tape files written
    with Cray or IEEE.
cdcncdump <ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Software/cdcncdump/>
    Don Hooper's version of ncdump that interprets udunits times (e.g.,

    time).
cdl.el <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/cdl.el>
    Ata Etemadi's utility functions for GNU emacs, cdl-get-file and
    cdl-put-region, that run input through ncdump or run region through

    for extracting and manipulating array data from netCDF files.
    Includes nc2text, text2nc, and ncrob utilities for printing selected
    data from netCDF arrays, copying ASCII data into netCDF arrays, and
    performing various operations (sum, mean, max, min, product, ...) on
    netCDF arrays.

    netcdf-3.5-beta3, udunits-1.11.7 and fan-2.0.3.
fanmat.taz <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/fanmat.taz>
    Phil Miller's MATLAB interface to the FAN library <fan_utils.html>
    for extracting and manipulating array data from netCDF files. It
    includes two MEX functions, nc2mat and mat2nc, that are simple
    gateway functions to the FAN library and are MEX file equivalents to
    the FAN utilities nc2text and text2nc.
gennet.f <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/gennet.f>
    Barry Schwartz's program to generate a Fortran program to read a
    netCDF file. It opens a specified netCDF file and generates the
    necessary Fortran code to declare the corresponding Fortran
    dimensions and variables and read all the data into the Fortran
    variables.
lahey.html <http://www.cwr.uwa.edu.au/%7eslawinski/work/netcdfinfo.html>
    Dirk Slawinski's instructions for compiling netCDF with Lahey
    compilers for Linux and Windows
mac/* <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/mac/>
    Several ports to Apple Macintosh.
msoft-7.0 <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/msoft-7.0>
    William Spencer's changes recommended to netCDF version 2.3 to build
    the library and programs using Microsoft's C++/7.0 compiler.
ncbrowse.pro <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/ncbrowse.pro>
    Matt Segur's IDL procedure that provides an X Window browser for
    netCDF data, including plotting a one- or two-dimensional
    cross-section of a selected variable, contour, wire-frame, and
    surface plots, and animation along a selected dimension.
nccat.c <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/nccat.c>
    Chuck Denham's program to concatenate two netCDF files along their
    record dimension. The files must be identical in variable names and
    dimensions. Each variable must have a leftmost NC_UNLIMITED record
    dimension.
ncML_proposal.pdf
<ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/ncML_proposal.pdf>
    /ncML: Proposal of an XML Interface for NetCDF Data/ by Lorenzo
    Bigagli and Stefano Nativi providing a new DTD for an XML
    representation of netCDF data and a Java converter that generates a
    conforming representation from a netCDF file.
ncplot <http://raf.atd.ucar.edu/Software/ncplot.html#gs>
    a program to view time-series data stored in netCDF files that
    conform to the NCAR-RAF/nimbus conventions. The source is available
    from http://raf.atd.ucar.edu/Software/ncplot_dnld.html.
nctopnm.tar.Z <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/nctopnm.tar.Z>
    Bear Gile's program to convert a netCDF file into a portable pixmap.
    NCTOPNM converts a NetCDF "image" field (a two-dimensional (finite)
    or three-dimensional (unlimited) field of "char" or "byte" data)
    into a PNM portable pixmap. It can use a pseudo-color or greyscale
    colormap in the same file or a different file, add a colorbar to the
    lower left corner of the image, and "burn in" a map background.
ncview.tar.Z <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/ncview.tar.Z>
    David Pierce's visual browser for netCDF data. Ncview is an X11
    application that displays a 2-dimensional color representation of
    single precision floating point data in a netCDF file. You can
    animate the data in time (making simple movies), flip or enlarge the
    picture, scan through various axes, change colormaps, etc.
nc_float.c <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/nc_float.c>
    Harry Edmon's interfaces to ncvarget and ncvarput that convert
    (optionally packed) data to floating point, handling missing data
    and units conversions.
read.ncdump.c <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/read.ncdump.c>
    Rick Danielson's filter for ncdump output that replaces udunits
    times with the corresponding date and time in a more readable form
    YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss. 
tbl2cdf.c <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/tbl2cdf.c>
    Chuck Denham's program to convert a flat ASCII table to a netCDF
    file. The program scans a flat ASCII table for the name and most
    general data type of each column. It then creates and populates a
    netCDF file with the data.
watcom.zip <ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/watcom.zip>
    Mike Perryman's makefiles for building netCDF on DOS or OS/2
    platforms using the WATCOM compilers. These files could be used to
    drive other DOS or OS/2 compilers with minimal modification since
    the compiler, linker and librarian specifications are contained only
    in the base makefile. This is packaged as a PKZIP file containing
    makefiles named "WATCOM.MK" for the base netCDF directory and
    subdirectories.
xml-tools.tar.gz
<ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/xml-tools.tar.gz>
    Bear Giles XML toolset for netCDF, including ncxdump to convert
    netCDF to XML and ncxgen, to convert the resulting XML back to netCDF.
