Why: EOS extensions to the HDF library, for Earth Observation datatypes.
Pkg-Description: Extension to HDF4 to support Earth Observing System datatypes
 HDF-EOS is a software library that is an extension of National Center
 for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) HDF. The library supports the
 construction of new data structures: Grid, Point and Swath.
 .
 This version is built against the HDF4

Depends: libproj-dev
Why: Needed for many cartographic tasks (eg coastlines on maps)

Depends: libgctp-dev

Depends: libnetcdf-dev, netcdf-bin

Depends: liblapack-dev, libblas-dev, libfftw3-dev
Why: Most forecasting codes use BLAS and LAPACK

Depends: libblas-doc, liblapack-doc, libfftw3-doc

Depends: liblas-dev

Suggests: gfortran
Why: Much meteorological code is developed in Fortran.

Suggests: ksh
Why: Many Meteorology codes use ksh as their scripting shells.

Suggests: pkg-config
Why: Simplifies the scripting of builds.

Depends: libudunits-dev
WNPP: 532430
Responsible: Alastair McKinstry <mckinstry@debian.org>
Homepage: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/
Language: C
Why: widely used in climate models.
Pkg-Description: Library for the programatic handling of units of physical quantities
 The UDUNITS package supports units of physical quantities (e.g., meters, seconds).
 Specifically, it supports conversion between string and binary representations 
 of units, arithmetic manipulation of units, and conversion of numeric values between
 compatible units.

Depends: libdap-dev
Why: used by GrADS, NCL , etc. to retrieve netcdf and other large data files.

Depends: libnc-dap-dev

Pkg-Description: The netCDF Client Library is an alternative implementation of Unidata's netCDF 3.6 API.
 The netCDF Client Library is an alternative implementation of Unidata's   netCDF 3.6 API.
 Our version adds the capability to dereference OPeNDAP URLs. You can substitute our version 
 of the library when linking your application and then simply pass an OPeNDAP URL 
 in where you would normally use a file name.

Depends: python-openturns, libopenturns-dev, openturns-wrapper
Why: Uncertainty quantification in numerical simulation

Suggests: liblife-dev
Why: Partial differential equations library, FEA, CFD
