This program converts the NetCDF files of the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) into HDF5, it allows to create HDF5 files for Mohid using the Module LIFE (mmol/m3) or the Module WaterQuality (mg/l). The user will be prompted when the software is ran.

Running options for this application are specified by the user in a input file named PARAMETER_READ.dat.

+This program converts the NetCDF files of the [http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/WOA05/pr_woa05.html World Ocean Atlas 2005] (WOA05) into HDF5, it allows to create HDF5 files for Mohid using the Module LIFE (mmol/m3) or the Module WaterQuality (mg/l). The user will be prompted when the software is ran.
 Running options for this application are specified by the user in a input file named PARAMETER_READ.dat.

+  <<end_input_files>>
- ''Remarks''
- - if JUST_REPORT : 1 no HDF5 file will be produced regardless of the choice in CONVERT_TO_HDF5;
-  - CONVERT_TO_ASCII : 1 should not usually be attempted because ASCII file can be potentially
-   very large; its main use is for the application development and debugging;
- - if CONVERT_TO_HDF5 : 0 or if this keyword is inexistent in the input file no HDF5 file will
-   be created;
- - the names in XX_VARIABLE, YY_VARIABLE and TIME_VARIABLE are expected to be the same for
-   different NOAA reanalysis NetCDF files, i.e. "lon", "lat" and "time".
