Larry,
The Grid Definition Section of a Grib file have a COMPONENT FLAG to designate
how the values are calculated. Either it's grid relative or easterly Northerly.
From the grib documentation:
5
0 Resolved u and v components of vector quantities relative to easterly
and northerly directions
1 Resolved u and v components of vector quantities relative to the
defined grid in the direction
of increasing x and y (or i and j) coordinates, respectively.
For the Alaska_45km conduit file, the VectorComponentFlag = 1 so the values are
calculated at the center of the node.
Here are some urls:

have to create user and login
The VectorComponentFlag = 0 is usually found on staggered grids.
