+NCO (netCDF Operators Software Stack)
+
+The NCO toolkit manipulates and analyzes data stored in netCDF- accessible
+formats, including DAP, HDF4, and HDF5. It exploits the geophysical
+expressivity of many CF (Climate & Forecast) metadata conventions, the
+flexible description of physical dimensions translated by UDUnits, the network
+transparency of OPeNDAP, the storage features (e.g., compression, chunking,
+groups) of HDF (the Hierarchical Data Format), and many powerful mathematical
+and statistical algorithms of GSL (the GNU Scientific Library).
