I'm using gribtocdl and gribtonc to convert grib files to NetCDF. The grib data files have 7 variables, 5 of which have a vertical structure. gribtocdl creates the cdl file and returns the message: Oct 03 12:38:02 gribtocdl[10036]: Starting Up Oct 03 12:38:04 gribtocdl[10036]: EOF on input Oct 03 12:38:04 gribtocdl[10036]: Exiting Oct 03 12:38:04 gribtocdl[10036]: 111 WMO msgs, 111 GRIBs decoded, 111 written which contains the correct number 111. The cdl file writes out the lat/lon and time data correctly and has the correct metadata for the variables. However, the cdl file does not write out any data for the variables and ends with lat data.
Lori, I think you have a slight misunderstanding, gribtocdl just creates cdl files with only data of the projection/lat/lon/etc. To actually create a netCDF file one has to use gribtonc with the cdl created by gribtocdl. ie % gribtonc -l - your.cdl your.nc < your.gribdata This will create a your.nc netCDF file. gribtonc also needs the ncgen utility to create the template your.nc from the your.cdl. ncgen is included in the netCDF package. I wasn't quite sure of your question, let me know if I misinterpreted it. Robb...
I am running the utility on a Linux machine. Any suggestions on why this is occuring? Thanks, Lori ------- End of Forwarded Message
