The Fortran-90 library provides current Fortran support for modelers and scientists.

The Fortran-90 interface is significantly simpler than either the C or Fortran-77 interfaces because of its use of overloaded functions and optional arguments.

• To use Fortran-90 for working with NetCDF data.
• To apply the main information available in the NetCDF Fortran-90 Users Guide.
• To exploit the strengths of the NetCDF Fortran-90 API.
  • Overloaded functions and optional arguments.
  • Fewer arguments to functions.
  • Improved error checking.
  • Support for arbitrary array sections.

• Write a two-dimensional array of sample data and read data from this file.
• Write some variables with units attributes and coordinate dimensions and read data variables and attributes from this file.
• Write some four-dimensional variables using a record dimension and read from the variables from this file.
