Hi Stuart-
Thanks for contributing this to the community. We're working
on setting up a space on the IDV website where we can post
IDV related items (bundles, animations, plugins, code) and
once that's up, I can add a pointer to your converter if that's
okay with you.

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
The converter is available for download at
