NetCDF Ninja Software

Instantly handle NetCDF files like a skillful Ninja! NetCDF Ninja serves to eliminate the complexity of NetCDF files for anyone; coders and non-coders alike. Anyone can use this tool to effortlessly examine everything within a NetCDF file. Data can be quickly plotted with or without fill values and closely examined using zoom or pan tools. The data can also be edited or exported in text format for use elsewhere. All metadata can be displayed and edited. The names of Global Attributes, Variables can also be changed.

NetCDF Ninja is compatible with Mac as well as Windows computers and is freely available either as standalone software, or a handy Matlab app that users can install on their Matlab toolbar if they already have Matlab installed.
