I am attempting to use the grib-6.0.jar (GribJava) for extracting data from a 
grib file.  What I want to do is extract data based on a particular lat/lon 
point within the area.

For instance, I would like to take the NAM model's grib files and extract the 
temperature for a specific point, say Halifax International Airport.  Is it 
possible to use this library for that purpose?   If so, can anyone post and 
example of how that would be done or even point me at the right direction?  
I've managed to get the test files to run and show me data.  I have a vague 
understanding of how to choose which parameters I want.  But I'm having trouble 
figuring out how, if at all, I can indicate the location.

Thanks!
Steph
