Re: Problems decoding GRIB2 GFS Ensemble grids

Kevin,
I've been in touch with Steve Chiswell on this matter. He told to update a file (g2varswmo2.tbl) in $GEMTBL/grid, which I did, but I must have edited the file incorrectly. So, I asked him to post an updated file. If he doesn't email a notice to you or Gembud, I'll send you the file I get it.

I've been attempting to decode the GFS ensemble data from the "new" CONDUIT NCEP ftp directory, as described in http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/ensemble_files.html#GRIB2. However, dcgrib2 is not able to determine the GEMPAK parameter name, and no GEMPAK grid is created. I've attached the output from the dcgrib2 log.
Command line used: dcgrib2 -v 4 -d dcgrib.log YYMMHHDD_gefs_@@@.gem < gec00.t12z.pgrb2af48 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin
