So i have downloaded and installled netcdf , udunits and gribtonc ( I have installed netcdf , udunits - because gribtonc uses these !!! ). Iam not sure what to do next and how to convert the image using gribtonc.
Karthik, The first step is to create a cdl file for the data with the gribtocdl command. Take a file that has all the parameters in the data set , ie % gribtocdl -v < rawdata > grib.cdl This is the cdl file for the data, it usually needs to be modified somewhat because the GRIB data is complex. One can look at the raw data with the gribdump command, ie % gribdump -h rawdata | more Then run the gribtonc command, ie % gribtonc -vl - grib.cdl grib.nc < rawdata There are man pages for detail info on all the commands.
