# 7.5. tables.NetCDF file structure

A `tables.NetCDF` file consists of array objects (either `EArrays` or `CArrays`) located in the root group of a pytables hdf5 file. Each of the array objects must have a `dimensions` attribute, consisting of a tuple of dimension names (the length of this tuple should be the same as the rank of the array object). Any array objects with one of the supported datatypes in a pytables file that conforms to this simple structure can be read with the `tables.NetCDF` module.
