FAQ
CDF to WEBP 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 WEBP files?
WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
