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

[Uwe Gramann]

Hi Jennifer, 
thanks for looking into this! 
I have attached the output of the gribmap/grib2scan and the ctl file (which does not contain a edef declaration).  I am not sure if I need an edef declaration, though, since I am treating each member as a separate model and create control files for each independently? 

In case I will not get anywhere ... is there a server that has grib1 data of the gfs ensembles still? 

Cheer and thanks again, 
Uwe

    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! 
  What does your descriptor file look like? I don't think g2ctl handles the ensemble declarations for EDEF (yet),  you may have to add those manually.
  What is the output from gribmap -v ? 
  What is the output from grib2scan -v ?

    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
