Robb, My name is Christopher Scannell. I'm working at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. I'm trying to use a product called TAOS (http://www.tec.army.mil/TAOS/) which is capable of reading GRIB and bufr format files. However, the most important environmental data I need TAOS to ingest (TAOS is the Total Atmosphere-Ocean Server and serves environmental parameters to Simulations) is in netCDF format. Is there any way I can convert a netCDF file to a GRIB file?? I understand there is a tool to convert from GRIB to netCDF called gribtonc. What I need is the reverse, i.e. nctogrib.
Christopher, This is the first request to translate netCDF to GRIB, I don't think there will be a large need in the future. The best advice I can give is to write your own translator. I would use the netCDF library calls to extract the information (info about netCDF on unidata web page )and the routines at wesley NOAAhttp://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov/gribw.html to create the grib file. Good luck in your endeavor.
Robb...
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help. Christopher -- Christopher Scannell ._______|_______. Instrument Rated Private Pilot \(*)/ 202-767-1127 o/ \o http://ait.nrl.navy.mil/people/scannell/
