[netCDFJava #JFM-249744]: library nasa-ames

Hello Benoit,

I've never encountered the NASA Ames format, but a little research suggests 
that it is an ASCII-based format.  That is, data is stored as plain-text, with 
the requirement that information about the data also be included in 
human-readable form in the data file.  Here at Unidata, we do not have a tool 
for parsing such ASCII files.  However, I would imagine that someone at NASA 
Ames may know more.  This website seems like a reasonable to start, though I 
notice it is not hosted by NASA Ames:

If you really want to convert NetCDF to ASCII, you can use the ncdump command 
line feature, which will produce asii output.  The NetCDF libraries for Java, 
C, Fortran, etc. are available here:
