ITP: nco - netCDF Operators (non-free)
Package: nco
Maintainer: Brian Mays <brian@debian.org>
Version: 1.1.39
Description: netCDF Operators
NCO is a suite of programs known as operators. Each operator is
a standalone, command line program that is executed at the UNIX
shell-level. The operators take one or more netCDF files as input,
perform an operation (e.g., averaging or hyperslabbing), and produce
a netCDF file as output. The operators are primarily designed to aid
manipulation and analysis of data. This reflects their origin, but the
operators are as general as netCDF itself.
Unfortunately, this package must go into the non-free distribution,
because its copyright does not allow for "commercial sales."
NCO is covered under the following copyright:
