ncdfCF: Easy Access to NetCDF Files with CF Metadata Conventions

Network Common Data Form ('netCDF') files are widely used for scientific data. Library-level access in R is provided through packages 'RNetCDF' and 'ncdf4'. Package 'ncdfCF' is built on top of 'RNetCDF' and makes the data and its attributes available as a set of R6 classes that are informed by the Climate and Forecasting Metadata Conventions. Access to the data uses standard R subsetting operators and common function forms.
