NetCDF folks,

We are looking for a netcdf file that contains the lon/lat values and
perhaps the grid_mapping parameters for the precip data available
from:

http://water.weather.gov/precip/download.php

You can download gridded precip data as NetCDF, but the files do not
contain the lon/lat values, and no such netcdf "grid" file seems
available on the site.   There is a Shapefile with all the lon/lat
points that we could convert to NetCDF, but surely someone must have
already done this, and perhaps even added the x,y coordinates and the
polar_stereographic parameters in a grid_mapping to make it all
CF-compliant?

Thanks,
Rich
