ONe suggestion: It's a subtle distinction, but rather than a "interface to netcdf", considering building a library for working with data that conforms to the netcdf data model, that has netcdf-C as one back-end. This is how xarray is built, and it opens the door to other file formats, like zarr, or even grib, etc. Note how xarray describes itself: http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/ " xarray ... makes working with labelled multi-dimensional arrays simple, efficient, and fun! ... includes a large and growing library of domain-agnostic functions for advanced analytics and visualization with these data structures. ... It is particularly tailored to working with netCDF files, which were the source of xarray’s data model " -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@xxxxxxxx
