Efficient Conversion of WRF/ADIOS2 Output to NetCDF4 with ADIOS2 v2.10.1

Hello,


I have successfully compiled and run WRF v4.7.1 with ADIOS2 v2.10.1. The simulation executes correctly, and the model outputs are written to the specified output directory in ADIOS2 format.


However, I am now looking for an efficient and reliable method to convert these ADIOS2 output files into standard NetCDF4 format for post-processing and analysis.


I came across the converter tool available here:
WRF-ADIOS2-to-NetCDF4,
but it appears to be outdated and incompatible with newer ADIOS2 releases (≥ 2.10). Attempts to compile or run it against recent versions result in API mismatches and build errors.


Could you please suggest a current or recommended workflow or toolchain for performing this conversion efficiently?
For example:

• Are there official ADIOS2 utilities (like bp2h5 or others) that can reliably handle WRF outputs?
• Is there any updated Python or C++ interface to read ADIOS2 BP files and write them to NetCDF4 using libraries like xarray or netCDF4?
• Alternatively, are there any community-maintained scripts compatible with modern ADIOS2 builds?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance for your help and time.


Best regards,
