    Hi Kunal,<br>
    <br>
    the answer was given in an earlier mail:<br>
    <br>
    <tt>1. read the ASCII data variable, lat and lon<br>
      2. create a output file:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; netcdf =
      addfile("simple.nc","c")</tt><tt><br>
    </tt><tt>3. write your data variable to the output file:&nbsp; </tt><tt>ncdf-&gt;values
      = values</tt><br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Please read the 'output to netcdf' examples for more details:<br>
