About #

Inspired by Panoply, NetSeeDF is a simpler alternative that does not require Java. It is designed for students and researchers who want to quickly visualise NetCDF files. It shows which variables are in the file, their shapes, and how their values look on a map. It also allows exporting a time series for a chosen grid point.
