NetCDFt

NetCDFt is a Python library that provides a convenient interface for reading and writing NetCDF files, a widely used format for scientific data. It aims to simplify the process of interacting with NetCDF datasets, making it more accessible to Python users. The library offers functionalities for creating new NetCDF files, appending data to existing ones, and accessing variables, dimensions, and attributes within a dataset.

The primary goal of NetCDFt is to abstract away some of the complexities inherent in the NetCDF format and its underlying C library. This allows users to work with their data using familiar Python constructs. It supports common NetCDF operations such as defining dimensions, creating variables, assigning data, and retrieving metadata. The library is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, catering to both experienced NetCDF users and those new to the format.

NetCDFt leverages the `netCDF4-python` library as its backend, building upon its robust capabilities. This means that users benefit from the stability and extensive features of `netCDF4-python` while enjoying a more streamlined API. The library is particularly useful for data analysis, visualization, and manipulation tasks within the scientific Python ecosystem, often used in conjunction with libraries like NumPy and xarray. Its focus on ease of use makes it a valuable tool for researchers and data scientists working with NetCDF data.
