Overview

The NCSTAT software is a collection of many operators for complex statistical processing and analysis of huge climate model outputs and datasets. NCSTAT is a parallel, multi-threaded, Fortran95/2003 software based on the OpenMP standard [OpenMP], using the NetCDF Fortran90 interface [netcdf-f90] of the NetCDF library [netcdf] for input/output data transfer and the STATPACK software [statpack] for numerical parallel computations (version 2.2 or above of the STATPACK library is required for compilation of this NCSTAT release).
