             Summary: Updating any modules using PyNgl and PyNio
                 Key: CLIMATE-55
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-55
             Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: metrics
            Reporter: Huikyo Lee
            Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann


PyNgl and PyNio have some critical weaknesses as follows.
1. NCAR has not updated PyNgl and PyNio updated for a long time. They do not support full features of NCL.
2. PyNgl does not support x window plots. It only allows creating postscript files.
3. PyNio cannot delete and replace existing NetCDF files.

I suggest replacing PyNio/PyNgl with Scienfitic.IO.NetCDF and mpl_toolkits.basemap.
