Re: GRIB to .nc conversion

Hello

I see Adam replied ... I had already started this ... so

ncl_filedump will produce one netCDF for on Grib file.

[1]
The most commonly used tool for concatenating files would be the
'ncrcat' command operator which is part of the netCDF Operators [NCO].
I would speculate that the NCO are on your systems as they are commonly
used.

Assuming you have NCL 5.1.0 [latest release], you could also perfor the
following
Let's say your grib files begin with "FOO....."

     diri = "./" ; whatever the input directory is
     filg = systemfunc("cd "+diri+" ; ls FOO")
     print(filg)
     nfil = dimsizes(filg)
    f = addfiles (filg, "r")
    ListSetType (f, "cat") ; concatenate (=default)
    slp = f[:]->slp_grib
    printVarSummary (slp)

    diro = "./" ; whatever
    filo = "SLP_GRIB.nc:
    system("/bin/rm -f "+diro+filo)

    fnc = addfile (diro+filo, "c")
    fnc-> SLP = slp

  f = *addfiles* (fils, "r")

   *ListSetType* <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/ListSetType.shtml> (f, "cat") ; concatenate (=default)
   T = f[:]->T ; read T from all files
   *printVarSummary* <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/printVarSummary.shtml> (T)
