ClimateSpark is a Spark-based distributed computing framework to support big climate data management and analytics. It has the following capabilities:

1. Natively support HDF4 and NetCDF4 datasets stored in HDFS
   
2. Spatiotemporal query of multi-dimensional array-based climate data with high efficiency, e.g. high data locality, no redundant data reading
   
3. ClimateRDD: a multi-dimensional array-based data model for Spark to organize climate data
4. Basic climate data analytics
