Strengths

  • The data are independent of the processor architecture (endianness).
  • The data are structured in a way that keeps track of all the pertinent information, e.g. physical units.
  • NetCDF4 can read and write in parallel, if it is built using a parallel version of HDF5.
  • Data can be compressed as it is written.
  • A simpler interface than HDF5.
  • It's free software for most platforms.
