I’m rephrasing my question… Is anyone out there currently (successfully)
decoding the UKMET model off the Noaaport using either the gribtonc or the
unidata java decoder? Thanks for taking the time to check… If this is the wrong forum to be asking
this question, please direct me to the proper unidata forum. Thanks… Charles From: owner- I’m having trouble creating a valid CDL (thus netCDF) for
the UKMET. Here’s my pqact.conf entry: HDS ^H..... EGRR
([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])
FILE /usr/local/models/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_uk.grib When I run a simple gribtocdl 2007052212_ukmet.grb >
uk.cdl command I continually get this as my dimensions in the file: dimensions: record =
UNLIMITED ; // (reference time, forecast time) lat = 73
; // latitude lon = -1
; //
longitude level = 12
; // isobaric
levels time_len = 21
; // string length for datetime
strings valtime_offset =
13 ; // number of offset times nmodels = 4
; // number of models ngrids = 9
; // number of
grids nav = 1
;
// for navigation nav_len = 100
; // max string length for navigation
strings Notice lon=-1. Further down in the data section it tells me that: lon =-30.00 ; I believe lon should equal 144 but obviously something is
not working. We take this same data and run it through the gempak
decoders without a problem. Anyone have any ideas what is going on with
the gribtocdl program on this grib file? I’ve run lots of other
model data through the gribtocdl program and never had a problem such as this. Also, the java grib decoder has issues with this as well… [ldm@metbox4 ukmet]$ java -Xmx512m
