@UTKARSH VERMA , you can use MATLAB to convert a .nc (NetCDF) file into a .dat file. NetCDF files are commonly used for storing multi-dimensional scientific data, such as temperature, and MATLAB provides built-in functions to read and process these files. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can perform this conversion:Steps to Convert .nc to .dat Using MATLAB

1. Read the NetCDF File:

• Use MATLAB's ncread or ncinfo functions to read data from the .nc file.

2. Extract the Relevant Data:

• Identify the variables you need (e.g., temperature) and extract them from the NetCDF file.

3. Write to a .dat File:

• Use MATLAB's file I/O functions to write the extracted data to a .dat file in the format required by your SDSM software.

There is the problem that .dat is not a standardized file format; .dat could refer to any of several thousand different file formats.
