1.8.SL11 and the result is the same as the gribmap2 and grads2.
--->>> The lat-lon thinned grid is managed by the recent grib2ctl.pl version
(grib2ctl.pl ver. 0.9.12.5p45).

Say me if your opinion is different.

Thank you Wesley, and I thank you for this GrADS User's contacts channel.

Best Regards,

Diego

Wesley, thank you for your valid support: I found that the trouble was in
grib2ctl version: my version was 0.9.12.5p34c.

Now I will continue to do my tests.

If you do not get bored too, let me get you two more questions:

Premise:
Its important for me to continue to work under Linux RH3 (It seem that the
new software doesn't work on this platform). I can abandon this platform
only if there isn't another solution for read my grib files.

The questions:

I have seen that if I use the last version of grib2ctl it generates a pdef
file and a descriptor file with some different format referring to the
0.9.12.5p34c version. I think that this fact obligates me to use gribmap2
then grads 2. Do you confirm?

I have seen also that if I continue to use the old softwares and insert by
hand the xdef, ydef information in the descriptor file issued by the old
grib2ctl ver 0.9.12.5p34c, I can continue to plot the meteo map with grads
1. Do you think this map information isn't correct? What is the difference
between the meteo map plot obtained with grads 1 and that obtained with
grads 2? Do you think that in one case there is a lost of information?


Diego

Diego,

I am running on a linux box and had no problem.

This suggests a problem with your input grib file. You may have
downloaded the
file as a text rather than a binary file.


Yours,
