Unfortunately, you won't be able to use NCL to convert datasets from
netCDF format to GRIB format. From the documentation:
(http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ngdoc/ng/ref/ncl/NclFormatSupport.html)
"An important point to note is that GRIB is a read only format. GRIB
files cannot be created using NCL. The main reason for this is that GRIB
files must contain the IDs of the meteorological center writing the data
and the model used to generate the data. Since NCL is not a model and
could be used at locations that don't have a center ID, NCL has been
designed only to read GRIB data."
