Abstract:

We employ an object-oriented idea to make meta-data and data in a NetCDF objective to solve the issue of the reading for multi-kind and multidemensional isomerous ocean observation data. We also present a class hierarchy which includes file, dimension, attribute, variable and its type. The class hierarchy is encapsulated with a component object model and forms desktop software by integrating grid, tree and chart component. The software is stable and has low system coupling, so it can satisfy the requirement of current data access.

Key words: NetCDF, object oriented, component object model
