Rew & Davis, 1990) groups, which are themselves built with HDF5, and allows for well supported serialization.”

(2010, methodology): “All best-track data were converted to Network Common Data Form (netCDF) format (Rew and Davis 1990) because it allows for the storage of many variables along with their descriptions, is supported by Unidata, and has software interfaces for many programming languages.”
