One of our data experts answered this question internally, and
he said I could share it with ncl-talk, so here it is:
The NCEP/DOE Reanalysis (R2) data files are in GRIB format. You
should be able to convert the GRIB files into netcdf files using
NCL.
Before you start the conversion, please check the following
site. CDC of NOAA may have what you need in netcdf files
already. The definitions used in the CDC's netcdf files may be
different from what NCL generates.
