Using CDO (Climate Data Operators), you could convert your GRIB file to NetCDF: cdo -f nc copy input.grb2 output.nc. You could then convert your NetCDF to plain text using ncdump, e.g.: ncdump output.nc. However, when writing to NetCDF the conversion function stringtochar must be used to write NCL string data into NetCDF files. Both NCL and. The fundamental thing that NCL does for both GRIB1 and GRIB2 is to assemble related records into NetCDF-like variables with named dimensions and coordinate variables.

I want to expand upon a couple of points that I made in because we continue to receive questions at related to these two ideas. I hope, by explaining the why of GRIB, you can better use data in this format. I ended with a paragraph alluding to its atomic* nature. The gridded fields of values within GRIB files are sometimes referred to as a 'message', a nod to its heritage as a transmission format. Each message is 'atomic' in the sense that it is the smallest unit of data that makes any sense. They contain a starting point, an end point (in bytes), GRIB codes describing the message contents, and the data values themselves. GRIB and BUFR are WMO transmission formats.

If a network outage occurs after transmitting 299 MB of a 300 MB file, it would be desirable to restart the transmission mid-file rather than retransmit from the beginning. With atomic data, you can restart the transmission at the point of the last complete atomic message. This means that a GRIB file can be an aggregation of smaller GRIB units.
