Greetings! I'm currently working on a program to do such a thing. Basically you would need to define the layout of your file (like you've done below) in a point-and-click way, and then run the converter by pointing it to the top directory of where you ASCII files live. This code, however, is very much alpha. When you do make the netCDF files, I would suggest that you make sure to try and follow CF conventions. Note that your data would likely be classified as a "Trajectory of Profiles." To see what you would need to do to make your netCDF files CF compliant, check out Section A9.6 in the following document: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/caron/public/CFch9-may10.pdf I have not implemented the Trajectory of Profiles convention in my converter yet (again, it's a very rough alpha), but it may be the next thing I try to add. Cheers! SeanHello, I have been googleing to find a solution to convert a couple hundreds of ASCII files to Netcdf however, the solutions I found don't really fit into my data set. So, I wanted to ask in here. My ASCII files come from a GWC (generic water column) data. I paste the header and first two lines of the data below; /# ----------------------------------------------------- # Source Files Information # Index Filename # 0 I:\raw\234.all # ----------------------------------------------------- # Field Definitions # 0 Sample File ID (see above) # 1 Sample Position X # 2 Sample Position Y # 3 Sample Position Z # 4 Sample Value (Amplitude) # 5 Sample Time # 6 Sample Range # 7 Ship Position X # 8 Ship Position Y # 9 Ship Heading (degs) # 10 Ship Pitch (degs) # 11 Ship Roll (degs) # 12 Transducer Depth (m) # 13 Sound Speed (m/s) # 14 Ping Number X # 15 Ping Time X # 16 Sample Number X # 17 Beam Number X # 18 Beam Azimuth X # 19 Beam Elevation X #0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 0 684028.44 4576014.50 -3.76 -127.00 0.0004 0.32 684020.44 4576016.44 238.36 3.25 -0.21 3.28 1504.3 00002 1223471556.46 1 99 0.00 13.98 0 684028.50 4576014.50 -3.86 -127.00 0.0006 0.49 684020.44 4576016.44 238.36 3.25 -0.21 3.28 1504.3 00002 1223471556.46 2 99 0.00 13.98/ Any suggestions to convert this to netcdf? I installed ferret but couldn't manage to write the suitable code.
