\section{MNC: the MITgcm NetCDF Package}
\label{sec:pkg:mnc}

\subsection{Introduction}

The MNC package is a set of convenience routines written to expedite
the process of creating, appending, and reading NetCDF files.  NetCDF
is a self-describing file format \cite{rew:97} intended primarily for
scientific data.  NetCDF reference papers, user guides, FAQs, and other
information can be obtained from UCAR's web site at:

\begin{itemize}
