Hi Yaqiang, > The MeteoInfo software has been updated and a new web page of it was > just built (http://www.meteothinker.com). So please update the > description and the web page link on the netCDF > software web page > (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html#MeteoInfo). OK, I've updated the description and web page link. Thanks for the information! --Russ > *********************************************************** > MeteoInfo is a freely available software designed to view and analyze > meteorological and spatial data interactively.
