Gribmap for GrADS 2.0.a2 with template option issue? (grib2 files)

[Uwe Gramann]

Hello everybody, 

I have not much luck trying to open GFS ensemble grib2 files with the template option.  After downloading all members and trying to apply the time-template option to a member like:

g2ctl.pl -verf gens_20_2008060400z_P%f3.grib > uwe.ctl
gribmap -i uwe.ctl

gribmap reports no errors, the control file looks okay, but all variables are undef in Grads 2.0.a2!  

I have no issues opening the individual files in Grads or combining each forecast-member's files into one large file and then opening those.  

Jennifer just mentioned that a gribmap time-template bug has been fixed, but I still have one .... 

Does anybody have any ideas ... suggestions ... 

Cheers and thanks to all

Uwe

  Subject: NEW RELEASE of GrADS 2.0.a2


  Dear All,
  I have posted a new version of GrADS:  2.0.a2. This version has several new features and important bug fixes. The GrADS downloads web page (http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html) has also been updated with links to the source code and two binary releases (more binaries to follow as soon as possible). 


      Features:
      * ready for use with GDS-2.0 to access 5-dimensional data sets via OPeNDAP
      * support for thinned grib2 grids 
      * gribmap has -0 option for grib2
      * allows non-float data types for hdf coordinate axes 
      


      Bug Fixes:
      * memory leak when replacing an existing defined variable
      * multiple fixes for netcdf/hdf handling (templating, zrev, %nodim%, et al.)
      * contour interval and label handling for double precision numbers
      * changed 'query dims' output for ensembles
      * fixed gribmap's handling of data sets templated over T but not E
      * fixed 'set annot' command and other minor bugs


  This release is a companion for GDS 2.0, which can now serve 5-D data sets. COLA is running a 2nd GDS for testing on port 9191 that is serving everything on the 9090 server plus GFS ensemble forecasts. Check 'em out at 
       http://monsoondata.org:9191/dods/gfsens/ 
  A public release of GDS 2.0 is forthcoming -- we are still testing. If you'd like to help, please try using the 9191 server. 


  Please post comments and questions and bug reports here (low-tech bug tracking is still in use at COLA). As always, I must be able to reproduce a problem on my own systems in order to fix it, so keep that in mind when reporting bugs. 


  Jennifer
