[ncl-talk] Write grib2 to netcdf

[David Brown]

If you use ncl_filedump on your GRIB2 file you will see that it has no time
dimension. There is only a lat and a lon dimension. The script you are
using is trying to read a time dimension that does not exist -- therefore
the error. The simplest and most general way to convert any GRIB file to
NetCDF is to use the script ncl_convert2nc, which is supplied with every
NCL installation. If the 'ncl' binary is in your PATH then ncl_convert2nc
will be as well, assuming you have a standard installation.
