GrADS can write out the shapefile for you. Use ‘set gxout shp’ and ‘set shp’ to control the output. Documentation is at

<blockquote type="cite">Thanks for your reply. Exactly. I'd like get a *.shp file of the 0 contour's. It should be get the lat/lon of the contour's position first, and then using Arcgis software to generate the .shp file.

file as your steps. Could you please have a look at the attachments and help? <br>
