of immediate notice is that weasd seems to be missing in the grid
created by nagrib2, but what seems odd about that is that in:

/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.10.4/gempak/tables/grid/g2varswmo2.tbl

which is called when running dcgrib2 manually from
the commandline is that weasd is listed ~ line 120 or so.

perhaps some gouls are having a little pre halloween fun =)

I may be shooting in the breeze here but looking at the fortran
routines from ncep:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/

different values are given for weasd than what are listed
in the gvars

note from ncep:
     data paramlist(65)%abbrev   /'WEASD   '/
     data paramlist(66)%g1tblver /2/
     data paramlist(66)%grib1val /66/
     data paramlist(66)%grib2dsc /0/
     data paramlist(66)%grib2cat /1/
     data paramlist(66)%grib2num /11/

and from g2varswmo2.tbl:

!23|123|123|123|12345678901234567890123456789012|12345678901234567890|
