Re: convert netCDF to shapefiles

We use cpan perl module which is very efficient in processing netCDF file and creating shapefile using geoshapelib. The installation is very straight forward and the example explains how easy to create shapefile for gridded data for multiple time step. Here is the link of the libraries.
