netCDF Installations on Tetralith & Sigma

netCDF is a set of software libraries and self-describing, machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

How to run

Load the netCDF module corresponding to the version you want to use, e.g

module load netCDF/4.4.1.1-HDF5-1.8.19-nsc1-intel-2018a-eb

This will add the netCDF binaries to your search path:

nc-config
nccopy
ncdump
ncgen
ncgen3
ncxx4-config
nc-config

The environment variable ${NETCDF_DIR} is also set. ${NETCDF_DIR} points to the base folder containing the netcdf installation. Sub-folders from ${NETCDF_DIR}:

bin
include
lib
share

You can build applications against the netCDF libraries using the include files in ${NETCDF_DIR}/include and pre-built libraries in ${NETCDF_DIR}/lib. e.g.

icc -I $NETCDF_DIR/include -L $NETCDF_DIR/lib
