script for converting a file from netcdf3 to netcdf4 on the queue

[corviday]

Files over 4GB in size need to be converted from netCDF3 to netCDF4 format before their metadata can be updated. This is done via the nccopy command, like so:

nccopy -k netCDF-4 file.nc file.nc4
mv file.nc4 file.nc

This is a slow process and sometimes bottlenecks data processing. A script that took a directory as input, and output jobfiles to do this conversion on each file in the directory using the queue would be useful.
