GD2NDFD converts a GEMPAK grid to an NDFD GRIB2 file.

INPUT PARAMETERS
 
    GDFILE    Grid file
    GFUNC     Scalar grid
    GDATTIM   Grid date/time
    GLEVEL    Grid level
    GVCORD    Grid vertical coordinate

    WMOHDR    WMO_ID/Origin_ID/DDHHMM
 
 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
 
    GD2NDFD converts a GEMPAK grid to an NDFD GRIB2 file.

    The input grids for the computation must be in GDFILE.  The
    converted GRIB2 message is added to the output file, GBFILE.
    If GBFILE does not exist, it will be created.

    The parameter CENTER allows the GD2NDFD user to specify the
    originating or generating center ID and sub-center ID of
    the GRIB2 message.

    A World Meteorological Organization (WMO) header may be
    prefixed to the GRIB2 message by giving at least the first
    six bytes of the header in the WMOHDR input parameter.
    Default values will be supplied for the originating center
    (KWBC) and reference time.


EXAMPLES
 
        Convert all times for paramter TMPK from GEMPAK grid format to
	NDFD GRIB2 format.  The output is written to file hrcbob.ndfd.

        GDFILE   = $GEMPAK/data/hrcbob.grd
        GFUNC    = tmpk
        GDATTIM  = all
        GLEVEL   = 0
        GVCORD   = none
        GBFILE   = hrcbob.ndfd
        CENTER   = 7/5
        WMOHDR   = HTRE50
