This is what we decided to do. NetCDF is in many ways easier than GRIB.
Several tools also propose a NCDF4 compression "on the fly" which is
more time consuming but on the long term actualy quite efficient since
you have to do it once and only once nd you spare disk space.

We use NCL for this, with the command:

ncl_convert2nc fnl_file.grib -cl 5 -nc4c
