Hi Christian,
From the error message, it appears that your GRIB file has the
extension ".grib". NCL recognizes ".grb" rather than ".grib" as the file
extension indicating a GRIB formatted file, so that may be the cause of
your problem.
You can either rename your file to "0132306000003.grb", or you
can induce NCL to treat the file as a GRIB file (whatever it happens to
be called) by adding the extension "grb" to the actual name in the
addfile call, i.e:
f = addfile("0132306000003.grib.grb","r")
