Is it possible to drive the WPS module with a wrfout file?

Hi
Is there any way to extracting meteorological fields from GRIB files with ungrib?
Is it possible to generate a wrfinput file using a wrfout file?

One relatively easy approach is to write wrfout file in GRIB format, then ungrib these wrfout files and produce initial and boundary conditions for a new WRF run. However, the capability to output wrfout files in GRIB format is broken and I I don't think it is our top priority to fix this issue. An alternative approach is to run UPP to convert wrfout files from netCDF to GRIB.
UPP information can be found here.
Hope this is helpful for you.

Maybe I can use the wgrib tool to convert wrfout to the GRIB2 format.
Which vtable should be used after successful conversion? Thanks
