Reading GFS GRIB2 files: issues with gribmap

[Gilmour, Isla]

Jennifer
 
Thanks for your response.  Indeed, I checked the $PATH, and tried using
a complete path to gribmap, but continued to get the same error.   Has
anyone used gribmap from the grads v2.a.02 "package" successfully with
GFS pgrbf.grib2 files?

                Leaving tdef aside, the next step is to use gribmap (the
one which comes
                with grads-2.0.a2) , but this failed:


                        g2ctl -0
/data/weather/gfs/20080714/00/gfs.t00z.pgrbf > gfs.ctl
                        gribmap -i gfs.ctl

                Open Error: Data file type invalid
                --> The invalid description file record is:
                --> dtype grib2
                The data file was not opened.

        The 'dtype grib2' option should work with gribmap (the one that
comes with 2.0.a2). Please check your $PATH or use a complete path to
gribmap to make sure you're using the right one.
