[gradsusr] problem in Generating CTL file to Read GRB2 file in Grads

[Marsh, Kieren]

Have you downloaded Perl onto your PC?  It does not come as standard on
Windows machines. ActivePerl is a good package
(http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads).

 

Running the .pl script does not depend on GrADS. 

 

You need to use Perl.exe to run grib2ctl.pl (a Perl script) which will
create a ctl file. You then need to use gribmap.exe (which should come
with your GrADS installation package) to create a map from the ctl to
the grib2 files. The file produced by gribmap will have an .idx
extension.

 

Once you have the ctl and idx files you can then open the ctl file in
GrADS to read the data in the grib2 files.

 

Have a look at this as well:
