  Description     : Python library for analysing and visualising
meteorological and oceanographic data sets

The Iris library implements a data model to create a data abstraction layer
which isolates analysis and visualisation code from data format
specifics. The
data model we have chosen is the CF Data Model. The implementation of this
model we have called an Iris Cube.

Iris currently supports read/write access to a range of data formats,
including (CF-)netCDF, GRIB, and PP; fundamental data manipulation
operations,
such as arithmetic, interpolation, and statistics; and a range of integrated
plotting options.

Iris is published under an LGPLv3 licence.
