+This package provides a high-level R interface to Unidata's netCDF data files,
+which are portable across platforms and include metadata information in
+addition to the data sets. Using this package netCDF files can be opened and
+data sets read in easily. It is also easy to create new netCDF dimensions,
+variables, and files, or manipulate existing netCDF files. This interface
+provides considerably more functionality than the old "netCDF" package for R,
+and is not compatible with the old "netCDF" package for R.
