  1. Create a folder on your hard drive. I suggest and will assume you will use '''C:\HYCOM''', although you can use a different folder if desired.

-    * Extract_Rasters_From_HYCOM_Global_NetCDFs.py - Python script that performs the extraction
-    * Extract_Rasters_From_HYCOM_Global_NetCDFs.cmd - Batch file for running the Python script in a loop until it completes successfully, to work around memory leaks in ArcGIS that crash the script
-    * ascii2shp.exe - Helper program for rapidly converting a CSV file into a shapefile

  3. Using your favorite web browser or FTP client, go to the place where you download files from the HYCOM dataset you want. From the '''topo''' directory on the HYCOM server, download the files '''regional.grid.a''' and '''regional.grid.b''' and save them to '''C:\HYCOM'''.

  7. Start a CMD shell. (On Windows XP or Server 2003, click Start, Run, type CMD, and press Enter. On Vista or later, click Start, type CMD, and press Enter.) CD to the '''C:\HYCOM''' directory.
 
- 8. Before extracting a large batch of data, you should verify that you can extract a single depth layer from a single file.
