Short Description of Functionality

Program NCANALYSE serves as an analysis program for data stored in CF netCDF data files.

Input-Files

1. general input data (file type ncanalyse.dat)
2. synoptic data sets (file type CF-NETCDF.NC)

Output-Files

1. data analysis result files (file type CF-NETCDF.NC)
2. (optional) informative printer file of program execution (file type ncanalyse.sdr)
3. (optional) trace of program execution (file type ncanalyse.trc)
