There is a GRIB to netCDF converter available from Unidata (I believe it's
called 'gribtonc') which potentially could be used to first convert the GRIB
file to netCDF, which can then be input to your netCDF application.  I've never
used it, and don't know any details, however.

Since GRIB files are serial by nature, and often contain an entire model run
(all parameters, all levels, all times), a VisAD adapter would be, I suspect,
nearly as complex as the netCDF one is.
