+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+netcdf: NetCDF (libraries for storing scientific data)
+netcdf:
+netcdf: NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a set of interfaces for array-
+netcdf: oriented data access and a freely-distributed collection of data
+netcdf: access libraries for C, Fortran, C++, Java, and other languages. The
+netcdf: netCDF libraries support a machine-independent format for
+netcdf: representing scientific data. Together, the interfaces, libraries,
+netcdf: and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific
+netcdf: data.
