NCO
Description
NCO manipulates data stored in netCDF format. It also exploits the geophysical expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata conventions, the flexible description of physical dimensions translated by UDUnits, the network transparency of OPeNDAP, the storage features (e.g., compression, chunking, groups) of HDF (the Hierarchical Data Format), and many powerful mathematical and statistical algorithms of GSL (the GNU Scientific Library).

Usage
Upcoming modulesystem change alert!
Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.
You can test the new version now by adding a line
source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules
to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of nco and load default version of nco as
module avail nco/ # list available modules module load nco # load (default) module
If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by
module avail nco
and choose explicit version you want to use. After initialization are correctly set up the following system variables:
$PATH, $NETCDF4_ROOT
