Has anyone worked with grib or netCDF files using Fortran? I want, for instance, to find the min/max values of my table etc. Do I have to use the grib filter each time I want to download the data or is there a way to extract each value I want through the code?
Concerning wgrib I found this :

You can use the grib_api libraries from ECMWF:

There is a lot of examples in how to manage the grib files.
wgrib offers the possibility to create readable binary files or a text file (without headers). But if you want to be more flexible, I would also suggest the grib api, which is generally also much faster.
If you have grib2 files, you might want to consider wgrib2, which can put out stats of each message by using the command wgrib2 -stats file_name.
Thank you Chris, I have tried wgrib but it gives only the min/max values. Not the position of them.
Grib API sounds promising for that job, I will try it as soon as possible.
Dear Stavros I suggest you NCL language for working with grib1, grib2 and netcdf. Also, you can see wgrib tricks: http://www.ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib/tricks.wgrib
