NetCDF is a common format for storing scientific data, particularly in fields like meteorology, oceanography, and climate science. The netCDF4python library supports both NetCDF version 3 and version 4 data models.
Version 4 of the NetCDF format is built on the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version 5) file
