Hi Frank,

> do you know a tool converting netCDF-data into GRIB?

I found a previous reply to a similar question

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/netcdf/1157

This is mostly still accurate, though GRIB edition 2 may have fewer
limitations than the GRIB edition 1 format that the reply refers to,
for example it may now be possible to represent non-horizontal 2D
fields in GRIB edition 2.

If you will only be converting data from netCDF to GRIB that was
previously converted from GRIB to netCDF, or if there is some other
reason you know the netCDF data will be representable in the more
limited GRIB data model, you might use GrADS, which supports reading
and writing data in various formats.  See

for more information.
