Re: NetCDF to ASCII text file conversion for Windows

Hi Jon,

The Ferret program can do what you have described and runs on Windows.  See
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/

Note that the same behavior can also be embedded into the LAS Web server
(Live Access Server) so that users can subset, visualize and make
comparisons on the data.  See
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/ferret_LAS.html and also
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/nopp/ for a running example of an LAS.
