In comparison with the original services the new API [regresses in terms
of netCDF support](https://forum.ecmwf.int/t/changes-to-grib-to-netcdf-converter-on-cds-beta-ads-beta/4322). Those relying on common netCDF support such as ecosystem modellers will find this troubling. Note that both CDS and ADS have different policies and use different methods. Note that this regression in usability is not caused
by this package. Please forward any issues you have with formatting of the data
to the ECMWF using [the public forum](https://forum.ecmwf.int/t/changes-to-grib-to-netcdf-converter-on-cds-beta-ads-beta/4322). We suggest to fall back to grib files, and convert internally if netCDF driver files are needed. Sadly, consistency for now is not, and will not be, guaranteed it seems.
