Re: netcdf -> grib converter?

NCL's 'ncl_convert2nc' will, as you note, convert GRIB data (GRIB1
and GRIB2) files to netCDF.

However, going the other direction -- netCDF to GRIB -- isn't
something that NCL can do. NCL does not write GRIB-formatted files,
as noted here:

NclFormatSupport.shtml#GRIB

There are tools to write (encode) GRIB files. For GRIB1 data, you
can use the 'w3' library. For GRIB2 data, you have two options,
'g2lib' (Fortran) and 'g2clib' (C). Both are available at:
