[netCDF #WVO-144063]: nco utility to multply array by scale_factor



Hi Jeff,

Sorry it's taken so long to respond to your question:

The ncpdq utility can unpack all the packed variables in a file, or it
can just unpack individual variables:

  http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncpdq-netCDF-Permute-Dimensions-Quickly

NCO also provides the ncap2 utility that can unpack variables using
the unpack() function:

We don't develop, maintain, or support NCO, so you'll generally get
faster (and probably more helpful!) answers to NCO questions from the
NCO help site:
