[gradsusr] Opening a Grb2 File

[Perry, Aaron @ LSC]

Hi Ethan,

In order to open a grib2 file in GrADS, a control (.ctl) and an index (.idx) file must exist.

To create a .ctl file with g2ctl, use this command in your terminal:

g2ctl grib2_file.grb2 > grib2_file.ctl

Then to create the .idx file with gribmap, use this command:

gribmap -i grib2_file.ctl


Onward and Upward,

Good evening everyone,

In an attempt to open up a grib2 file, I have downloaded and unpacked the wgrib2 tar file and copied the g2ctl script onto a text edit file. When I type in the command 'run g2ctl gfs_4_20140112_1200_009.grb2' I get the prompt, "error opening script file: g2ctl".  Any thoughts on why this would be?

Ethan
