Hi Huiya,

I apologize for not being able to respond to your inquiry sooner...

re:
> I was wondering if there is a utility to convert Gridded data in Grib to
> McIDAS format?

Unidata McIDAS includes the McIDAS-XCD package of decoders for data in
NOAAPORT.  One of the decoders in McIDAS-XCD does exactly what you are
asking for, convert GRIB messages (GRIB1 and GRIB2) to McIDAS GRID format.
McIDAS also has the capability of serving the GRIB data directly through
ADDE.  To do this efficiently, MySQL must be installed on the the users
workstation that is ingesting/accessing the GRIB messages, and the user
must setup the ADDE GRIB server.

What specifically are you looking to accomplish?

> Thanks for your help.

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
