Although direct interfaces to netCDF (the de facto standard data format in climate science) existed, they could be kind of clunky. They didn't have smart …

Based on this notebook, which highlights some basics on reading in RTOFS/netCDF output into Python, manipulating that data, and plotting it. For additional examples, Filipe Fernandes has a great example of similar operations on his blog.

    import netCDF4 as nc
