nco - NetCDF Operators

nco is a suite of programs known as operators. Each operator is a standalone, command line program executed at the shell-level like, e.g., ls or mkdir. The operators take netCDF file(s) (or hdf4 files) as input, perform an operation (e.g., averaging or hyperslabbing), and produce a netCDF file as output. The operators are primarily designed to aid manipulation and analysis of data.

The operators are:

  • ncatted - attribute editor
  • ncdiff - differencer
  • ncea - ensemble averager
  • ncecat - ensemble concatenator
  • ncflint - file interpolator
  • ncks - kitchen sink (extract, cut, paste, print data)
  • ncra - running averager
  • ncrcat - record concatenator
  • ncrename - renamer
  • ncwa - weighted averager
