One way to convert netCDF data to text is to use the **ncdump** tool
that is part of the netCDF software distribution. It is a command line
tool that provides a text representation of all the netCDF data, just
the structure of a netCDF file, or just the data for specified
tool that provides a text representation of a netCDF file's data, just its
metadata, or just the data for specified
variables, depending on what arguments you use. For more information,

Another good tool for conversion of netCDF data to text is the ["ncks" program](http://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncks-netCDF-Kitchen-Sink) that's one of the utility programs in the [NCO (NetCDF Operators)](software.html#NCO) package. Similar capabilities are available using programs from the [CDO (Climate Data Operators)](software.html#CDO) software, commands from [NCL (NCAR Command Language)](software.html#NCL), or various other packages such as [ANAX](http://science.arm.gov/~cflynn/ARM_Tested_Tools/), cdf2asc, and NOESYS, all "third party" netCDF utilities developed and supported by other organizations. You can find more information about these third-party packages on the [Software for Manipulating or Displaying NetCDF Data](software.html) page.
