R: Manage lat-lon thinned grid

[Diego Morelli]

Hello Wesley.

I'm very glad to receive your help.

I just tried to use grads 2, convgrib and wgrib2 and the result is success
for the "file #1".

Ok for the file #2. Yours is a confirm that reinforce my opinion about its
handling.

Regards,

Diego

Diego,

File #1: I was able to plot the thinned grid using grads 2a05.
File #2: This file is hopeless. It is using complex packing of a grid
which is legal grib1 but
never used (AFAIK) until people started converting to grib2.
