How do I convert NSIDC SMMR-SSM/I-SSMIS data products in polar stereographic projections from NetCDF to binary?

The NSIDC provides Python scripts for reformatting specific NSIDC SMMR-SSM/I-SSMIS data products in polar stereographic projections from NetCDF to binary. This includes NSIDC Brightness Temperature Data Sets (NSIDC-0001 and NSIDC-0080) and NSIDC Sea Ice Concentration Data Sets (NSIDC-0051NSIDC-0081, and NSIDC-0079).

More information and access to the python scripts are available on the NSIDC GitHub page: https://github.com/nsidc/polarstereo-reformat
