Hi Sricharan,

Yes, the Grads Data Server is an OPeNDAP server (it uses the DAP version 
2 protocol).  The netCDF library has DAP client capabilities built in, so
you can open and read data from a remote DAP server, such as the GDS, from
a netCDF program.  The DAP client was added in netCDF version 4.1, so you
would need a version 4.1 or later.  We recommend version 4.2.1.1:
