MATLAB provides access to more than 30 functions in the Network Common Data Form (netCDF) interface. This interface provides an API that you can use to enable reading data from and writing data to netCDF files (known as datasets in netCDF terminology).
To use these MATLAB functions, you must be familiar with the netCDF C interface. To get this information, consult the NetCDF C Interface Guide.
Note For information about MATLAB support for the Common Data Format (CDF), which is a completely separate, incompatible format, see Common Data Format (CDF) Files. |
In most cases, the syntax of the MATLAB function is similar to the syntax of the netCDF library function. The functions are implemented as a package called netcdf. To use these functions, prefix the function name with package name netcdf. For example, to call the netCDF library routine used to open existing netCDF files, use the following MATLAB syntax:
ncid = netcdf.open( ncfile, mode );
The following tables list all of the functions in the MATLAB netCDF package, grouped by category.
