Robb,
My name is Christopher Scannell. I'm working at the Naval Research
Laboratory in Washington, DC. I'm trying to use a product called
TAOS (http://www.tec.army.mil/TAOS/) which is capable of reading
GRIB and bufr format files. However, the most important environmental
data I need TAOS to ingest (TAOS is the Total Atmosphere-Ocean Server
and serves environmental parameters to Simulations) is in netCDF
format.
Is there any way I can convert a netCDF file to a GRIB file??
I understand there is a tool to convert from GRIB to netCDF called
gribtonc. What I need is the reverse, i.e. nctogrib.
Christopher,
This is the first request to translate netCDF to GRIB, I don't think there
will be a large need in the future. The best advice I can give is to
write your own translator. I would use the netCDF library calls to
extract the information (info about netCDF on unidata web page )and the
routines at wesley NOAA
http://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov/gribw.html
to create the grib file. Good luck in your endeavor.
Robb...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Christopher
