Thus, one faces sometimes to process netCDF files via a sort of mixing of both tools and it is almost impossible to add new capabilities to them. <A CLASS="la" HREF="http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret" TARGET="_blank">Ferret</A> is quite a useful tool, but its quick characteristics limit the output which at the same time it is in a low quality. When one is working with multiple models highly appreciates a single tool to work with their output.
