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).
