20051217: NetCDF from Gempak grids?



Gerry,

No, nothing you've missed since there are infinitely many ways of 
creating a NetCDF file. I could dump the GEMPAK data to a GEMPAK 
like ordered NetCDF file, but that probably wouldn't be the exact file format
that your NetCDF tool would be expecting. Its just not an unambiguous process.

You can create a grib product from the GEMPAK grid with gdgrib, and then use 
whatever grib to NetCDF converter you are using.
