Hi Brian,
Have you tried using GEMPAK as an interim format?
I've had good results using the venerable wrf2gem postprocessor that Steve
Decker developed several years ago. The netcdf-java library handles the GEMPAK
to NetCDF conversion fine and I have a couple bundles that display fields from
our regional runs.
I believe that if you build NCEP's WRF post processor and choose GEMPAK output,
that will work too.

Subject: [idvusers] making WRF output CF compliant
Does anyone have some one-line templates for converting wrf output to
IDV-friendly netCDF files?
Preferably with a set of basic weather variables but not a zillion internal
model fields.
Such an old question, so much on the Web, yet every solution seems to require a
bunch of time and effort.
This looked promising
http://foehn.colorado.edu/wrfout_to_cf
But for me it creates the inscrutable errors below and no results.
No idea what to do next, no hours and hours available to study it.
Anyone have a workable solution?
Thanks for any tips!
