Hi Robert,
It looks like you're grabbing data from the GFS-Global_onedeg model, which
is available on many TDS servers. One of them is ours [1]. I don't know if
the two products are identical, however. Others on this list are more
knowledgeable in that arena than me.
As for converting GRIB to NetCDF, ToolsUI [2] can do the job. Just open the
GRIB file in the "Writer" tab, select "netcdf3" as the format, and click
"Write File".
Cheers,
Christian
