Actually there is a quicker method of obtaining a netCDF file then downloading the grib files and converting them to netCDF. There is a NetcdfServer that is available for most NCEP Model Data plus other data. To obtain the data go to: http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalog.html click on: NCEP Model Data select the desired Model entries until the data entries appear. select a data entry a THREDDS Data Server page with different Access options will be shown. The bottom option is the NetcdfServer that permits one to select the desired parameters and forecast times. After your selection is made and submitted, a netCDF file can be saved to you disk. This process is much easier then getting the raw grib and doing the conversion yourself. Robb.... > > > I need to convert grib to netcdf so I dl'ed and unzipped the > decoders-4.1.0.tar.Z file.
