ICE_IO
Reading and Writing ICE Datasets in NETCDF Files

ICE_IO is a C++ library which can read or write an ICE dataset, which defines a 3D grid, using the NETCDF file format.

Languages:

ICE_IO is available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.

Related Programs:

ICE, a data directory which contains examples of ICE files, which store icesheet grid datasets in the NETCDF format.

ICE_TO_MESH, a C++ program which reads a NETCDF file containing an ICE dataset and rewrites the information as a MESH file.

MESH, a data directory which contains examples of MESH files, which can be used to define the geometry of a finite element mesh in 2D or 3D, using triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedrons or hexahedrons.

MESH_TO_ICE, a C++ program which reads a MESH file containing an ICE dataset and rewrites the information as a NETCDF file.

NETCDF, MATLAB programs which read and write NETCDF files.

NETCDF_MPAS, MATLAB programs which read and write MPAS grid data stored as NETCDF files.
