Robb,

Thank for the quick response. I have made the modifications you suggested,
ie setting La1/Lo1 to the south west corner of the full ETA218 grid
and setting the grid_number to the list of all the tiles (there are 54,
see map at http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/research/tiles.218.html).
I ran into a new problem: it seems that the GRIB file carries the "255"
code for all the tiles and I got the following error messages:

Dec 21 15:54:04 gribtonc.exe[28513]: 374 grid 255 not in grid_number list
in eta.t00z.awip21806.nc
francois,

sometimes in stitched together  grid files the grid numbers are not used,
only 255 is used.  so replace with grid_number = 255;

I have attached my CDL file for your information and put two tiled
files (tile 23 and tile 32) at:
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu:incoming/irap/vandenb/eta.t00z.awip21806.23
ftp://ftp.rap.ucar.edu:incoming/irap/vandenb/eta.t00z.awip21806.32

i get connection timed out errors on retrieval or chdir errors

Other files can be found under the naming eta.tAAz.awip218FF.TT
(where AA is the analysis time, FF the forecast lead time and
TT the tile number) at:
ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/eta/prod/eta.20041221/

i get:

Can't build data connection: Connection timed out


i'm working at home and my connection doesn't permit tranfering of large
data files. if the above solution doesn't work, i look at it tomorrow.

robb...

Thanks for the support,

Francois
