|version=August 2010  
|version_descr=August 2010
|significance=Universal (open source) file format for measured and/or model data. Data (variables) can be either scalar variables as well as one- or multi-dimensional arrays. The format allows effective storage for variables of different dimension, size and type. Attributes can be used to attach additional informations to the whole file as well as to individual variables.
Further informations can be found under example-file/documents below. 
|filecontents=
# '''header with metadata:'''
## list of''' dimensions''' (name and length),
## list of '''variables''' (name, type and dimension(s)) for which data are stored in the file,
##  '''attributes related to variables''' ('''long_name, units''' etc.), and
## '''global attributes''' ('''title, history''' etc.). 
#:Remark: the names of attributes as well as standard variable names should be chosen according to the following given conventions:
#:* [http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ ''NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention''], and
#:* [http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standard-name-table/15/cf-standard-name-table.html ''CF Standard Name Table''].
# '''data''' for all variables stored in the file:
## (optional) '''coordinate-variable''' data,
## (optional) data for ordinary''' variables''', for which only one data record is stored in the file, and finally
## (optional) data for '''record-variables''' (which have one unlimited dimension, e.g.''' time'''), which can be stored several times.
