module cable_netcdf_mod
  !* Interface for netCDF file handling in CABLE.
  !
  ! This module defines abstract types and interfaces for working with netCDF
  ! files using different underlying libraries (e.g., NetCDF Fortran, ParallelIO).
  ! Concrete implementations should extend the abstract types and implement the
  ! deferred procedures.
