Is there a program available to convert CSV files to netcdf format? We are finding netcdf a useful format for accessing data and it would be good to be able to convert data that arrives in CSV (Comma Separated Variable) format to basic netcdf files. I'm thinking a basic utility that reads a CSV file, uses the first row as variable names, uses the second row to determine data types, and puts the data from the file into a CSV file. It occurs to me that such a utility shouldn't be too hard to write, so someone has probably done it.

Linux users, on the other hand, may note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers alone do not denote a higher life form.
