Relationship with NetCDF
------------------------

.. note:: Note that internally the GRIB extension uses the NetCDF reader, which supports also GRIB data. See also the :ref:`netcdf` documentation page for further information.
 
 
Current limitations
-------------------

* Input coverages/slices should share the same bounding box (lon/lat coordinates are the same for the whole ND cube)
