+The Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF) is an interface for
+scientific data access and a set of freely-distributed software
+libraries that provide an implementation of the interface. The netCDF
+library also defines a machine-independent format for representing
+scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support
+the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. This software
+package provides Fortran application interfaces for accessing netCDF
+data. It depends on the netCDF C library, which must be installed
+first.
