Nusrat,
GDGRIB (contributed by the HPC) does not support grib encoding of 
ensemble bytes (41-45) for member names, but you can specify a mapping 
of your parameter to a grib parameter. 
The GBTBLS, VERCEN and PDSVAL parameters are used to specify 
what grib parameter and vertical coordinate is defined by your 
grid. You can convert your TMPF to TMPK and use the PDSVAL for TMPK.
