grib_to_netcdf examples

Produce a NetCDF file from grib edition 1

> grib_to_netcdf -o output.nc input.grib1

If your grib file has analysis and 6-hour forecast, then ignore keys 'type' and 'step'. Thus type=an/fc and step=00/06 will not be considered as netcdf dimensions.
```
> grib_to_netcdf -I type,step -o output.nc input.grib
```

Do not use time of validity. If time of validity is used, it means the 1D time coordinate is considered as date+time+step, otherwise 3 different dimensions are created.

The default behaviour is to use the time of validity.
```
> grib_to_netcdf -T -o output.nc input.grib
```

Produce NetCDF with data type of FLOAT (32bit floating point, for higher precision).

Note these types were chosen to provide a reasonably wide range of trade-offs between data precision and number of bits required for each value
```
> grib_to_netcdf -D NC_FLOAT -o output.nc input.grib
```
