[gradsusr] Decoding ECMWF Data

[Becker, Bernd]

try the following nuonces in the way you describe Z in the .ctl files:


Multilevel data:

zdef 6 levels
1000 850 700 500 200 10
tdef 33 linear 00Z18Jul2013 1dy
vars 1
Z         6  129,100,    0 ** geopotential             gsmtercboundary2 [gm]

and single level

z     0 129, 99 ,0   ** 500 hPa Geopotential                           gsmobstercboundary2 [m**2 s**-2]

and

z     0 129, 100,500   ** 500 hPa Geopotential

good luck!
Bernd

Subject: [gradsusr] Decoding ECMWF Data

I'm having a hard time with *some* ECMWF data that I'm subscribed to.
I am using grads (opengrads), gribmap & grib2ctl.pl<http://grib2ctl.pl> to generate the CTL & IDX files. The file format is Grib1.
- Using grib2ctl version 0.9.12.6
- Using gribmap "for grads version 2.0.1.oga.1"
- Using wgrib 1.8.1.0b

The problem exists with 'level' data, but not all level data. In the example below, I can map the 850mb winds, but not the 500mb.
Try

set lev 500
d uprs

as an example. I get an 'entire grid undefined' message.

I was able to open the data using the tkdegrib package and output uprs @ 500mb level in CSV format, and see that indeed the data is in there and looks good. Just can't visualize it in Grads for some reason.

Here's a temporary link to example files:

Any thoughts?
