Visualize and Analyze WMT Model Output
CSDMS promotes standardized model output formats, i.e. NetCDF files.
NetCDF, Network Common Data Form, is developed by Unidata. NetCDF files are specifically designed for array-based scientific data and the format is adopted in many domains of the computational geosciences. Good information on NetCDf can be found here Unidata NetCDF info
One option to visualize NetCDF files is to use the Panoply package. This free open-source software developed by NASA allows easily visualization of 1) vector data, especially time-series data, and 2) gridded model output. It is also relatively straightforward to makes movies of grid stacks.

Visualize a time series of data
An example file is posted here. This file contains simulation output consisting of daily bedload flux data.
>> download this file, open it up with Panoply
>> the name of the file reflects the CSDMS standard name of the parameter saved in it. In this case it is the bedload, at the end of the river channel. And it has been recorded for 3650 days (or 10 years). <>
