CWF v2.3
The CoastWatch Format (CWF) Software Library and Utilities is a package of routines that convert, manipulate, and plot CoastWatch format data files. The software was developed at the CoastWatch West Coast Regional Node for use with the web site and other CoastWatch data processing applications. CoastWatch users can:
  • convert to other formats such as netCDF, HDF, ArcView
  • plot to GIF with a color bar, time stamp, etc.
  • extract specific file attributes, dimensions, and values
  • adjust the data navigation
  • selectively apply NOAA/NESDIS cloud mask files
  • calculate overall data file statistics
  • create composites from a time series of data files
