Hello, NetCDF files can be accessed from the command line via the netCDF utilities (ncdump, nccopy, etc), but that is probably not what you are looking for. We maintain a list of software which can be used to view and analyze netCDF data; this is not software maintained by Unidata, but rather software which uses the netCDF library. This list may be viewed here. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html I hope this information is helpful, have a great day, -Ward > Respected Sir, > > I am a research scholar in Department of Geography, Kurukshetra University, > Kurukshetra (India).
