Just thought it would be useful to point out that the people who maintain NetCDF is [Unidata](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/), a branch of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. In fact, netCDF-4 is essentially built on top of HDF5 - a much more widely-known file format, with [first-class support](http://www.pytables.org/) including an I/O layer in pandas. While it would certainly be great to ""sell"" netCDF as a format in the documentation, those of us who still have to write netCDF-based I/O modules for our Fortran models might have to throw up a little in our mouths when we do so...
