 nc2vdf collects a list of parameters and uses the command line tools vdfcreate and ncdf2vdf, that come with VAPOR, to create the metadata file and populate the data collection automatically with all variables and time steps chosen by the user.\\
-The tool can be used in two ways, an interactive command line prompt asking for all necessary information and a non interactive batch mode reading all input parameters from a configuration file. The batch mode may be preferred. For converting large data sets, a batch job can be started at HLRN (so far only hicegate2 and bicegate2 are allowed). Large batch jobs that would exceed the wallclock time limit of the shell, you might want to submit a job (currently only possible on the UV systems).\\

-The conversion can be started interactively, as local batch job at IMUK/HLRN or as batch job at UV. To use nc2vdf on your own workstation with VAPOR installed (Linux or Mac systems), you may edit the appropriate lines in the configuration file {{{nc2vdf.config}}}). The following instructions have to been executed.
