Re: Compressed NetCDF 4 classic files

ncl_convert2nc should be able to convert the files to NetCDF 3 files simply by executing it with no argument other than the input file name (since its default output is a NetCDF 3 classic format).
However, to unpack the data into floats you will need to write your own script. If you want it to be very general you could try modifying ncl_convert2nc to add this as an option.
