How to convert netcdf to ascii

[Shailendra Rai]

Hello,
ncdump does not work with the gradsc.
This is unix command provided your system is having the NetCDF library installed.
on unix prompt just write %ncdump input.nc > output.txt.
If you want to do this in GrAds then you just run gradsnc and open  the file .nc file by 
>sdfopen input.nc
>set gxout fwrite
>d var
it will write the variable in Binary form and you can convert it by a simple fortran program.
bye
