FAQ
CDF to SVG 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 SVG files?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard vector format that uses the XML markup language and can contain animated or interactive graphics. The SVG format was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization promoting the development and interoperability of web products and offering such products freely. SVG files are supported by most web browsers and can be created with drawing programs or text editors.
