Got it - Juust googled it!

Thanks will have a look

Website in case anybody would like to have a look

Hi
Thanks for replying.

PINGO does not support GRIB2 products. 

What is the NCO ?

Hi,

For GRIB files you can use PINGO 
(http://www.mad.zmaw.de/Pingo/pingohome.html), for example

for time subset:
grb selrec,1,100809 ../A2/EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-146096.grb 
EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809.grb

and for lat lon subset;
grb sellonlatbox,290,360,80,10 ./EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809.grb  
./EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809_290-360-80-10.grb
grb sellonlatbox,0,70,80,10 ./EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809.grb  
./EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809_0-70-80-10.grb
rm EH5_OM_A2_1_TEMP2_1-100809.grb

but i don't know about GRIB2 support and CDO (Climate Data Operator).

For netcdf files NCO can modify the netcdf file as you want. The 
following PyNGL scripts helps to you,

import Nio
from Numeric import *
import os

# slab dimensions
os.system('rm nnrp.slab.nc')
os.system('ncks -d lon,330.0,80.0 -d lat,17.5,60.0 nnrp.nc
nnrp.slab.nc')

# open netcdf file
nc = Nio.open_file("./nnrp.slab.nc", "rw")
lon = nc.variables['lon']

# fix dimension >> monotonic
for i in xrange (0,12):
        lon[i] = lon[i][0]-360.0

# close file
nc.close()

The os.system part of the code gets subset of the file and rest of the 
code correct 360 problem and generates monotonic dimension.
