netCDF 4.2.1.1

The netCDF data model is the way that we think about data.

The data model of dimensions, variables, and attributes, which define the The Classic Model, was extended starting with netCDF-4.0. The new The Enhanced Data Model supports the classic model in a completely backward-compatible way, while allowing access to new features such as groups, multiple unlimited dimensions, and new types, including user-defined types.

For maximum interoparability with existing code, new data should be created with the The Classic Model.
