  Description     : Python processing of Climate and Forecast (CF) data models

CF is a netCDF convention which is in wide and growing use for the storage of
model-generated and observational data relating to the atmosphere, ocean and
Earth system.

This package is intended to be an alternative to libcf which is no longer part
of
the netcdf package. There was an ITP for the netcdf-libcf package, but
development of this source upstream is stalled.

cf-python depends on netcdf-python being packaged first, and will be maintained
within the Debian GIS team.
