help me on missing end section of GRIB data

[Wesley Ebisuzaki]

Hi,

You've encountered a problem that happens to everybody at one time or
another.
Wgrib is looking for the end section "7777" (ascii) and is finding other
characters.
This indicates a bad grib file usually corrupted by not using the
"binary" option with
an FTP transfer. So download the data again as a binary file.
