Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Instead of writing binary gridded files, directly write netcdf variables. This should take advantage of recent features that allow for user-defined meta-data in the ww3_ounf program.

Describe the solution you'd like
Connect the work in #641 for w3iogoncdmd.F90 with the variable meta-data features. Ensure the code is readable and concise as possible and does not have too large of an impact at-runtime.

Describe Alternatives
Binary gridded output could be an option or netcdf could completely replace binary as an output, which will then mean we need to address the programs that read the binary gridded output such as ww3_outf, ww3_gint, ww3_grib, etc.

@JessicaMeixner-NOAA This feature should be available in the current WW3 dev/ufs-weather-model commit. What I believe needs to be done at this point is the comparison of the netCDF output written at run-time with that generated from "post". I believe that is best handled by someone from the wave team itself.

@DeniseWorthen -Agreed, I think I accidentally added you as an assignee on this issue - although you have done the vast majority of this work - so in that respect THANK YOU! It's probably an accurate assignment - however, I went ahead and just removed all the assignees - but I'm happy to add you back!

I agree - someone from the waves team needs to take over looking at how to use the work you've done w/in the post processing of WW3. We're working on some other items right now but do plan to do this - hopefully soon, but not sure exactly when.
