Welcome

Here you will find links to software that I make available on the web. Most of it is released under the GPL, but I have put some utility routines into the public domain.

  • ncview: A X11-based netcdf-format file browser. Of course I'm biased, but I think anyone who uses netcdf files would benefit from having ncview as part of their toolset. ncview makes it quick and easy to get a good idea of what data is in your file, which makes you more productive.

  • ncdf: An interface to netcdf files for the R language. This interface is nice because it's very high level, so you can read from or create netcdf files quickly and easily.

  • udunits for R: An interface to Unidata's udunits library for the R language. This package allows you to easily convert values between different units, such as degrees C to (or from) degrees F, furlongs to microns, grams to tons, etc.

  • CalenCalcs: A set of C-language routines that provide calendar calculations. The Gregorian, Julian, and standard Civil calendars are supported, as well as speciality calendars used in numerical climate models, such as the noleap (or 365_day) and 360_day calendars.

  • fxdr: Fortran routines that allow easy access to XDR (eXternal Data Representation) I/O streams. What this means in practice is a Fortran interface to routines that allow you to transfer binary data in a machine-independent way.

  • autoconf macros for udunits, udunits-2, netcdf, and netcdf-4.
