GMT is used worldwide by about 6000 scientists, according to the developers. NCAR's Research Aviation Facility has decided to use netCDF to distribute aircraft data. NCAR's Research Data Program uses netCDF as the primary file format for data archived and used in the Zebra display and analysis system. Currently, the Northeast Regional Climate Center is working on netCDF compatibility with a possible further view to conversion. This software is distributed nationally and internationally.
All data is stored and distributed in netCDF format.
All graphics displays and animations are produced with the EPIC tools for working with netCDF data files. The Woods Hole Field Center of the U.S.G.S. Marine and Coastal Geology Program uses netCDF to access a variety of scientific data sets, including output from circulation and sediment tranport models, sonar imagery, digital elevation models, and environmental sensor data. At the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, netCDF is used in several areas. These data include wind, barometer, humidity, air and sea temperature, precipitation, short wave radiation, and GPS navigation. All data from this experiment will be archived using Unidata's netCDF before release to the scientific community.
