The netCDF Operators, or NCO, is a suite of programs known as operators, which process netCDF files. The NCO homepage at http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/nco has complete details and an online User's Guide. A new version of NCO, nco-1.1.34, is available. It has a new feature some may find useful: 1999/07/03: ncatted now replaces missing values of variables whose missing_value attribute is changed. When the internal floating point representation of a missing value, e.g., 1.0e36, differs between machines then netCDF files produced on those machines will have incompatible missing values. ncatted now changes the missing_value attribute and the missing data self-consistently. This allows the user to change the missing values in files from different machines to a single value so that the files may then be concatenated together with, e.g., by ncrcat, without losing any information.
