Thanks for your reply!
However, the command you suggested
ncl_convert2nc fnl_090101_18_00_c.grb
still does not work for me, at least.
I still get the same error message as following,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
fatal:NetCDF: Name contains illegal characters
fatal:FileAddVar: an error occurred while adding a variable to a
file, check to make sure data type is supported by the output format
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 333 in file
/tmp/tmp12547.nc
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This happens to me on any NCEP-FNL 1by1 degree data.
Although it looks like the naming of the variables in the GRIB file
may have some confliction with the key words either in NetCDF or NCL,
I cannot figure out how to go through it.
Could you please download one of them from
http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds083.2/
by clicking "Data Access" and try?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Xiaoming

NCL will look for fnl_090101_18_00_c.grb and if it does not
find it, NCL will look for the fnl_090101_18_00_c file and
'remember'
to treat it as a grib file.
