Hi,

I am going to check in CISTO NASA obs4MIPs Python program into the apache climate incubator this week. The software is used here at NASA NCCS to convert from hdf, netcdf, grads (ctl) files and matlab files to netcdf using CMOR2 and following the CMIP5 convention. Since the code was written following obs4MIPs project requirements , some CMOR2 attributes are deleted and new ones are created in the output file.

Feel free to try it up. If you have problem installing/running the software send a ticket to the Apache JIRA. You might have to do some work on get all dependencies working first. The sofware utilizes a lot of third party package such as xlrd, cmor2, netCDF4, ....

I have written a INSTALLATION document which explains how to solve the dependencies and set up a "resource" file to run the program. I have also created 2 examples, one with TRMM data that I downloaded from the GES DISC (as netcdf file) and one from the ECMWF ERA-Interim Y2013 data file using a excel spreadsheet to match CMIP5 variables to ECMWF variables.

In the future I will add a "grads ctl" file example, which is very helpful to aggregate data easily.

Have fun with it!
Denis
