  Hi,
   I want to convert GRIB data to either netCDF or HDF format. Attached are my
  GRIB data .ctl file. In gradshdf, I tried:
  lats4d -i 08.....ctl -format coards, but the code fails. Does anyone have the
  experience with this topic? Thanks!

  GrADS version: 1.9
  Lats4d version: 1.9.4
  warning: duplicate grib name: grib -1
