GRIB file problems

[Sandro Raolil]

Hi all,

I have some problems to display GRIB files with GrADS.
i know this is a known problem, but pheraphs someone could have some news.
I have 2 GRIB file (Grib 1 version) and using grib2ctl and gribmap (both
directly and after copygb trasformation) I'm not able to plot with GrADS
correctly.


The first file, with command "wgrib -d 1 -V LF.grb", display:

The second file, with command "wgrib -d 1 -V YM.grb", display:
