Why: standard library for BUFR formats
Why: Much Meteorology software is MPI enabled

Recommends: libcoarrays-dev, libcoarrays-bin
Why: Enable Co-Array Fortran features in gfortran

Suggests: udunits-bin
Why: udunits is a useful utility

Why:  Development files for the climate data interface library 

Recommends: libeccodes-dev, libeccodes-tools
Why: Eccodes is the new standard library for GRIB and BUFR file management.
Why: API for reading GRIB2 files

Why: EOS extensions to the HDF library, for Earth Observation datatypes.

Why: EOS extensions to the HDF library, for Earth Observation datatypes.

Why: Needed for many cartographic tasks (eg coastlines on maps)

Recommends: libnetcdf-dev, netcdf-bin, r-cran-rnetcdf

Suggests:  libcblas-dev

Recommends: libfftw3-dev, fftw-dev, sfftw-dev
Suggests: gfortran
Why: Much meteorological code is developed in Fortran.

Why: NetCDF4/HDF5 now uses AEC compression.

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

Suggests: pkg-config
Why: Simplifies the scripting of builds.
Why: Coupler used by many climate models. Needed by some NWP models to compile.
 (or stubs for the same routines)
Why: widely used in climate models.

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

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

Suggests: libfeel++-dev
Why: Partial differential equations library, FEA, CFD
Why: Co-ordinates system for geographical data in FITS files
