Given the recent postings about MM and netcdf, I thought I would mention
the fact that I have written a Java converter tool which converts both
the mm5 TERRAIN output and MODEL output (INTERP?) to netcdf. The
conversion reads geo-locating metadata from the mm5 big header and
outputs these as CF conventions compliant netcdf. IDV can read my nc
files directly.
I should point out that the converter was written to handle our local
mm5 files. I know that it will not handle mm5 orderings CA for
instance. Further, the geolocating metadata is assumed to be in certain
sections of the mm5 big header, I am not sure if this assumption holds
in general
