Re: grads binary to netcdf

Quoting an old ncl-talk message from Xianglei Huang 12 Jan 2006:

-----
Just FYI, there is a handy tool, grads2nc, to convert Grads data
to netcdf data developed at GFDL. You can download this tool from
http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/products/vis/data/netcdf/
GFDL_VG_NetCDF_Utils.html#grads2nc

          It might take you some time to configure and compile it. But
the
conversion is very neat, just a command line and it will do it.
