Netcdf conversion

[Adiram97]

Hello,
I am using ERF with multi GPUs specifically 8 gpus and I write the fields in Amrex format. However it is convenient for me to use NetCDF so I use the tools available in Exec/Tools to convert it into NetCDF.

On that note,

1. I see that the grid in netcdf is a 3d grid compressed into one long array. i.e. x=x(nznynx) and similarly y and z. This occupies a lot of memory and I wanted to ask if it is possible to have x=x(nx), y=y(ny) and z =(nz) ?.
2. Then, the attribute time is not really stored when converting to NetCDF. Current_time is always 0 for all the files. Can you please help in fixing this?

Thank you very much!
