[gradsusr] strange problem displaying grib1 file

[Wesley Ebisuzaki - NOAA Federal]

Don,

It works when you convert the file into grib2.  The differences
in the ctl file are in the pdef line.

bad:
pdef 196 150 lccr 30.499000 274.513000 1 1 60.000000 30.000000 -98.000000
4000 4000

good:
pdef 196 150 lccr 30.499000 -85.487 1 1 60.000000 30.000000 -98 4000.000000
4000.000000

In this case, the reference longitude has to be a negative value.

Wesley
