'''Earth sciences graphics software''' is a plotting and image processing software used in atmospheric sciences, [[meteorology]], climatology, oceanography and other [[Earth science]] disciplines.

Earth Sciences graphics software includes the capability to read specialized data formats such as [[netCDF]], [[High-dynamic-range imaging|HDR]] and [[GRIB]]. Such software is sometimes able to access the data from remote data centers. Examples of applications include satellite data processing, analysis of output from complex meteorological models and display of time series of data. Graphics capabilities range from simple line plots to complex three-dimensional visualizations.

This type of graphics software is often used to display results from earth sciences  [[:category:Numerical climate and weather models|numerical models]].
