[netcdfgroup] netcdf to csv

This must be a fairly common problem/question, but I wasn't able to find a
good solution after much googling.

I am about to run an R script that currently expects to read .csv. It was
easier for me to prepare the input data in netcdf, but now I'm finding it
difficult to convert to .csv. I could read the .nc files into R, but as I
understand it I would have to read in one variable at a time (20 variables)
and then rebuild them into a dataframe, whereas if I could convert to .csv,
they would all be read in.

My .nc files are ~80MB, not too huge for .csv. I have ncdumped them to text
files, and I'm planning to write a script to parse them - unless someone
has an easier/faster solution.

Actually, I'm *really* hoping someone has an easier/faster solution. My
data and models are on a Mac, but I have access to PC or linux.

Thanks in advance...

Elizabeth
