GridtoNetCDF Tool

Screenshot of the grid to netcdf tool

 

This tool takes multiple EDEN ESRI grid files and creates a single NetCDF (.nc) file. For example, one .nc file can contain several month's worth of data, as do our water surface files. Please note that this program was specifically created to convert EDEN grid files.

CERPZone users, please see information below.
