What is a UM file

UM files mostly belong to 7-Zip. The UM file is a compressed archive that uses the ZIP structure to bundle multiple data files together.
In many cases, these files are used as Unidata NetCDF Master Files to store and transport scientific data, especially when managing large data sets.
Key points as outlined by FilExt.com include:
  • They employ ZIP compression internally.
  • They package various files into a single container.
  • They are sometimes used in scientific contexts (e.g. handling NetCDF data formats).
  • FilExt.com note: More information about the ZIP format can be found at this webpage.

    How to open a UM file

    You need a suitable software like 7-Zip to open a UM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your UM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a UM file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
