Using the JSON, CDL and netCDF interfaces of the netCDF kickstarter clients or graphical user interfaces (GUI) can be built that interact with the netCDF kickstarter. The netCDF kickstarter hosts it's own very simple webinterface. But the OpenEarthTools repository also contains a kickstarter toolbox that, for example, extracts the dimensions from your data itself.

Units

The netCDF kickstarter intends to limit the amount of user input and keep as much attribute values default. This is also true for the units used in a netCDF file. You will not often be bothered by setting the units of a variable. It assumes the following units for variables:

Variable

Units

x

m

y

m

lat

degrees north

lon

degrees east

time

seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00

Feel free to use other units if appropriate as long as you stick to the UDUNITS notation. You have to change it manually, though.

Where can I find the netCDF kickstarter?
