NetCDF Credits

Unidata is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.

The NASA CDF data model, to which netCDF owes much, was developed by Michael Gough and Lloyd Treinish. Joe Fahle designed a C version for a CDF-like interface and discussions with Joe provided much of the inspiration for the original netCDF C interface. The netCDF C library and first version of the Java interface were written by Glenn Davis. The nctest test suite, ncdump, ncgen, the original C++ interface, and most of the original User's Guides were written by Russ Rew. The Fortran77 test code was written by Cathy Cormack. The configure-based installation system, vars and varm array access implementation, Fortran77 interface, and original perl interface were written by Steve Emmerson. The netCDF-3 interface design and the nc_test exhaustive test code were developed by Glenn Davis and Harvey Davies. The Fortran77 interface uses Burkhard Burow's cfortran.h package. John Caron wrote the subsequent netCDF Java implementations. The Fortran90 interface and User's Guide were developed by Robert Pincus. Ed Hartnett updated and simplified the configure-based installation, enhanced Windows support, refactored the documentation while converting it into texinfo, and is the primary developer for netCDF-4. Dennis Heimbigner wrote the netCDF-4 version of ncgen, the C OPeNDAP client, the ncZarr interface, the dispatch layer, and the implementation of diskless files. The nccopy utility was added by Russ Rew. Lynton Appel developed the C++ implementation for netCDF-4. Ward Fisher overhauled netCDF release-engineering, developed a new build-and-test framework using CMake, virtualization, and container technologies, moved sources to GitHub, developed a Windows/Microsoft Visual Studio port, refactored documentation for improved web access, and merged all the documentation into the sources for maintaining with Markdown and Doxygen.
