FAQ
CDF to BPG Conversion
What are CDF files?
CDF is a file extension used for the Network Common Data Format (NetCDF), a self-describing binary format developed by Unidata at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to store array-oriented scientific data. A file of this type contains named dimensions, variables, and attributes, which allows multidimensional datasets such as temperature, wind, elevation, or ocean currents to be stored together with the metadata needed to interpret them. Variables are typically organized along coordinate axes such as latitude, longitude, depth, and time, with time often declared as an unlimited dimension that can grow as new records are appended. The format is machine-independent and is widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and climate science. Although the .nc extension is more common, the .cdf extension is also encountered for NetCDF files.
What are BPG files?
BPG is a new and promising image format, which currently provides the most advanced technology in image compression. Released in 2014 by software developer Fabrice Bellard, the BPG format has been shown to include the best quality/size ratio, when compared to other popular formats such as JPG or PNG. The number of image viewers that can open BPG files is currently limited, but is expected to grow in the near future. For easier access, conversion can be done to and from the BPG format.
