:rocket: Release: 1.0.0

um2nc is a Python utility for converting Unified Model (UM) data files to netCDF. um2nc is developed for users of ACCESS models which contain the UM as a component, including ACCESS-CM2 and ACCESS-ESM1.5.

um2nc is a successor to the commonly used um2netcdf.py scripts found on Gadi. It incorporates a similar user interface, while updating the underlying software to be more modular, flexible, and testable.

How to use:

Installation and usage instructions are available in the um2nc user documentation.

Version 1.0.0 of um2nc will shortly be made available on Gadi through the next release of payu.

Features:

:white_check_mark: Simple command line utilities for converting UM output and restart files to netCDF.

:white_check_mark: Tools for embedding netCDF conversion in ACCESS-ESM1.5 simulations.

:white_check_mark: Built using test-driven development principles, incorporating unit and integration tests to ensure the correctness of future updates.

Known Issues / Limitations:
