Hi Arnold,

the `um2necdf` script will be available in the future within other set of tools to manipulate ACCESS ancillary files.  
For now, since it’s still in a pre-release form, you can do the following:

1. Load the `conda/analysis3-unstable` module:

```plaintext
module unload conda
module load conda/analysis3-unstable

```

1. clone [this](https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/amami) repo:

```plaintext
git clone https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/amami.git

```

1. Use the **um2nc.py** tool under `amami/amami/um2nc.py`  
For complete usage instructions, run `um2nc.py -h`

**Note:** The tool is still in a pre-release state (that’s why it’s not fully on Gadi yet), but should work fine with most of the files.

Hope that helps  
Davide
