+## NetCDF UGRID Reader
+
+ParaView now provides a new reader to load NetCDF files that follow the [UGRID conventions](https://ugrid-conventions.github.io/ugrid-conventions/).
+
+Only 2D meshes are supported and you can extract points, cells and data arrays associated to them.
+You can also replace values denoted as "fill values" with NaN.
