ESMF can be built with NETCDF. This may be useful for a couple reasons. The first is that ESMF claims to have native IO routines now. Secondly when defining an ESMF_Mesh object the user can provide a NETCDF file with the description. ESMF must be built with NETCDF to read such files. ESMF requires the NETCDF C++ library. As of ESMF 5_3 and 6_1 this is the legacy NETCDF C++ library. ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-cxx-4.2.tar.gz
