Could you tell me how to do it? I don't think ncdump would be very useful for that purpose. ncdump creates CDL text output from netCDF binary input. I don't know of any program that reads CDL text files and produces CDF binary files. > also where i can find the manual for ncdump options? The ncdump manual page is here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ncdump There is a link to ncgen and ncdump documentation from the netCDF documentation web page at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/docs.html > My goal is to convert netCDF file to HDF file.

I think there are easier ways to convert a netCDF file to an HDF file. For example, here is a utility program that does it: http://ioc.unesco.org/iodekit/website/module2/toolbox/netcdfhdf.htm Another possibility is lats4d, described here: http://dao.gsfc.nasa.gov/grads_listserv/msg01894.html You might be able to find others by entering "hdf" as a search keyword to see email replies to support messages we have gotten from the "netCDF support email archive" link at the bottom of the netCDF home page at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ --Russ
