Unless you really see an improvement e.g. in file-size (i.e. netcdf4-compression) I would still go for netcdf-3.Ubuntu 10.04 does only include netcdf3-libraries, and it has a end-of-life for desktops in April 2013 and for servers in April 2015. It is really hard (e.g. it took me 2 days as experienced system administrator, and that was after our scientist had given up) to install nco with netcdf4. Such investments need a good reason.I don't know about other OSes, but you should maybe check ScientificLinux/CentOS/Redhat, Debian and SuSE.Heiko On 2012-08-09 23:05, Lynnes, Christopher S.

Are enough of the main netCDF tools updated to work with netCDF-4 / classic by now to make the switch?Or any other reason why we might want to hang back at netCDF-3? -- Dr. Christopher Lynnes NASA/GSFC, Code 610.2 phone: 301-614-5185_______________________________________________ netcdfgroup mailing list netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFor list information or to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
