Hello,

Not all data stored as netCDF4 can be represented or converted to a netCDF3 
format.  The netCDF4 file format was created to encapsulate the netCDF4 
enhanced data model; this relies on features not available in netCDF3.  The 
best way to determine if the files can be converted is to try, however.

The utility 'nccopy' is a command-line utility distributed with the netCDF 
library.  You don't mention your platform but assuming it is linux, you should 
be able to install it using your linux package manager.  If you are on Windows, 
you can download a pre-built set of binaries from 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/winbin.html.  Alternatively, 
you can build the netCDF libraries/utilities using standard development tools.  
Instructions for this are found at 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs.

I hope this helps, have a great day,

-Ward
