+NCO (netCDF Operators Software Stack)
+
+The NCO toolkit manipulates and analyzes data stored in netCDF-
+accessible formats, including DAP, HDF4, and HDF5. It exploits the
+geophysical expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata
+conventions, the flexible description of physical dimensions translated
+by UDUnits, the network transparency of OPeNDAP, the storage features
+(e.g., compression, chunking, groups) of HDF (the Hierarchical Data
+Format), and many powerful mathematical and statistical algorithms of
+GSL (the GNU Scientific Library).
