I suggest you use the decoder dcgrib2 to convert from grid to GEMPAK format. cat file.grib2 | dcgrib2 -d dcgrib2.log -v 1 output_YYYYMMDDHHfFFF.gem you can then directly access the file in any GD program with GDFILE. If you have non-standard grib parameters then this gets more complicated with custom grib files.
