            We have some grib files that have 10 ensemble members for
            each month.<br>
            NCL reads the data as one 1 value per month using
            ncl_convert2nc.<br>
            Looking at the grib1 files, the 1st 10 headers are the same,
            the 2nd,<br>
            and so forth (except for the starting value). Is it possible
            to read<br>
            these with ncl or should we try to create 120 grib files and
            then<br>
            process them? Maybe one can use -sed?<br>
