| - | Summary: cdms2 can read/write netCDF files (and read //grads// dat+ctl files) and provides a higher level interface than netCDF4. Unfortunately, cdms2 is only available in the [[other:python:starting#uv-cdat|UV-CDAT distribution]], and distributions where somebody has installed some version of //cdat-lite//. When you can use cdms2, you also have access to //cdtime//, that is very useful for handling time axis data. | + | Summary: cdms2 can read/write netCDF files (and read //grads// dat+ctl files) and provides a higher level interface than netCDF4. cdms2 is available in the [[other:python:starting#uv-cdat|UV-CDAT distribution]], and can theoretically be installed independently of UV-CDAT (e.g. it will be installed when you install [[https://cmor.llnl.gov/mydoc_cmor3_conda/|CMOR in conda)]]. When you can use cdms2, you also have access to //cdtime//, that is very useful for handling time axis data. |
