[ncl-talk] HDF5 to NetCDF

[Fan Fang]

If you're looking to convert IMERG data, you can use the service from
our Hyrax site:

http://gpm1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/ncml/GPM_L3/contents.html

Each granule page has "Get as NetCDF X" tab on top where you can convert
the whole file, or you can select variables to subset and convert.

There is also time-aggregated data service at

http://gpm1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/ncml/aggregation/GPM_3GPROFF16SSMIS.03/contents.html

or

http://gpm1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/thredds/catalog/aggregation/catalog.html

For "thredds" you can use "NetcdfSubset" service to convert data to
netcdf.  Time-aggregation allows you to convert data in a time range
into one file.  Watch out the time length though for performance.
