nc
What is a .nc file?
application/x-netcdf
NetCDF (.nc, Network Common Data Form) is a binary, self-describing format for array-oriented scientific data. It stores multidimensional variables (like temperature over latitude, longitude, and time) with named dimensions, units, and metadata attributes, and is a standard in climate, ocean, and geoscience.
How to use a .nc file
Use an example .nc file to test NetCDF readers (netCDF4, xarray, Panoply), CF-convention validators, and gridded-data pipelines, or to verify dimension and variable extraction.
