NAME

mom2vdf - Transform MOM or POP netCDF data into a VDC

SYNOPSIS

mom2vdf [options] mom_ncdf_file... vdffile

DESCRIPTION

mom2vdf reads 3D and 2D (spatial) variables from one or more MOM (or POP) netCDF files, wavelet transforms the data, and stores it in the VDC associated with the .vdf file vdffile.

OPTIONS

-vars <vars>: Variables to convert. A colon delimited list of the 3D and 2D variables you wish to transform. Their names must appear in the .vdf file, vdffile. The default is to convert all 3D and 2D (spatial) variables defined in both the .vdf file and the MOM/POP netCDF files.
-numts <number>: Specify the maximum number of time steps to convert. After converting number time steps, no further processing will take place.
-level <level>: See raw2vdf
-lod <n>: See raw2vdf (VDC2 only).
-help: Print a usage statement and then exit.
-quiet: Operate quietly, only reporting fatal errors.

EXAMPLES

The command

    mom2vdf momout1.nc momout2.nc momout3.nc mydata.vdf

transforms all of the variables at all of the time steps found in the MOM(or POP) netCDF files momout1.nc, momout2.nc, and momout3.nc that match the variable names and time stamps found in mydata.vdf.

The command

    mom2vdf -varnames u:v:w momout1.nc momout2.nc mydata.vdf

is similar to the above example except that the converted variables are limited to the three velocity components, u, v, and w.
