[gradsusr] How to convert grib to netcdf or read grib files in GrADS

[Jeff Duda]

Get yourself a copy of the perl scripts grib2ctl.pl and g2ctl from NCEP (a
Google search will turn them up). Those will create control files from GRIB
data. Then run gribmap on the control files to create an index file. When
that's done successfully, you will be able to plot the data in GrADS.
