Hi Liam,

We recommend that developers use a higher level netcdf-java package instead of 
the low level grib package that requires one to know the messy details of grib. 
The netcdf-java package is located at : 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/

Also, you should first look at our data site: 
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog.html under NCEP model data/ WW3 type 
grib products. You can use a program ToolsUI to look at the data. This should 
give you an idea of the type of functionality available.

Then download the netcdf-java package and look at you data using ToolsUI, there 
is documentation/tutorials there too.
