- Fortran 90: pres_temp_4D_wr.f90
- C++ (legacy): pres_temp_4D_wr.cpp
- C++ (netCDF-4): PresTemp4dWr.cpp
- Java: Pres_temp_4D_wr.java
- Contributed: Python: pres_temp_4D_wr.py, MATLAB: pres_temp_4D_wr.m, Perl: pres_temp_4D_wr.pl, IDL: pres_temp_4D_wr.pro
- Command-line: ncgen -b pres_temp_4D.cdl
Read from the variables in the file written above:
- C: pres_temp_4D_rd.c
- Fortran 77: pres_temp_4D_rd.f
- Fortran 90: pres_temp_4D_rd.f90

Test MATLAB native support for netCDF-4: nc4test.m
Copy any netCDF classic or 64-bit offset file, using only the netCDF-3 API:
- C: nccopy3.c
Copy any netCDF file, using the netCDF-4 API:
- C: nccopy4.c
Write profile data according to CF Conventions version 1.6, Appendix H:
- Fortran 90: example_h3_cf1_6.f90
