[gradsusr] WRF-NMM netcdf files

[Jeffrey Duda]

Sim,
I am a WRF-ARW user and not a WRF-NMM user, but I do use the WPP.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything with the WPP package that would do what
you are looking for.  However, if you are willing to run the ARW instead,
there is a post-processor called ARWpost that has a utility called WRFnc2ctl
that you could use.  Otherwise, you could also try ncview...however, it only
allows you to display variables and doesn't let you do any manipulation of
the fields.  Lastly, you could try Ferret.  It requires no post processing
and all you have to do to your wrfout files to use them in Ferret is append
".nc" to the end of the file name.

Good luck and ask if you have more questions.  Sorry I can't help more with
the NMM side.
