HOWTO manipulate NetCDF files

ncdump

Outputs the contents of a netCDF file as an ASCII stream.

ncgen

Allows you to create a binary netCDF file from an ASCII file; eg one produced by ncdump!
This means that you can edit the netCDF file by hand!

Steve's NC tools

Steve's compiled a bunch of useful tools for modifying netCDF files. Most useful i've found is:
/home/seg/lobal/bin/nc_reset_attr
which allows you to quickly change attribute values.
