Hi Rob,

I just downloaded a few of the NDFD .bin files from the NDFD ftp site and it 
looks like the .bin files are in GRIB format which the netCDF-Java library can 
read. I'm wondering if it is failing to recognize them as GRIB files because of 
the header information located before each GRIB record.

I'll pass this over to our GRIB person to look at in more detail.
