Hello Sachin, While we do not maintain or directly support the R and Python netcdf libraries, I believe I can point you in the right direction. For R, you will probably want to use the 'ncdf4' package. From inside R, you will run the command 'install.packages(c('ncdf4'),dependencies=TRUE)'. This should install the ncdf4 and all dependent packages. Refer to http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ncdf4/index.html for instructions on how to use this package. Instructions for downloading and installing the 'netcdf4-python' package may be found here: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python. I hope this is helpful, -Ward > Respected Sir, > I am Sachin Kumar currently pursuing B.Tech from Indian Institute > Of Technology Patna.
