MOSAICO, a library for raster based hydrological applications

This paper presents MOSAICO, a set of Fortran 90 Modules for facilitating development of raster based hydrological applications and stimulating adoption of netCDF as a common format for sharing and comparing data among hydrological community. MOSAICO include routines for high level operations for input output and manipulation of gridded dataset. A test program is presented in order to show basic MOSAICO capabilities.
