netCDF Convention

For many data types, IMOS uses the netCDF (network Common Data Form) system, a set of software libraries and machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

The IMOS netCDF Convention describe the netCDF format and the format of filenames that will be used to distribute IMOS data.
