FERRET

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/home

Ferret is an interactive computer visualization and analysis environment designed to meet the needs of oceanographers and meteorologists analyzing large and complex gridded data sets. It runs on recent Unix and Mac systems, using X windows for display. PyFerret, introduced in 2012, is a Python module wrapping Ferret. The pyferret module provides Python functions so Python users can easily take advantage of Ferret’s abilities to retrieve, manipulate, visualize, and save data.
