[gradsusr] "Cannot contour grid - all undefined values" with some grib2-files in OpenGrADS

[tom.kalkov at web.de]

Hi,

I want to visualize the Grib2-File
EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2 (see attachment)
and get the error "Cannot contour grid - all undefined values".

I am using Windows 7 with the following software:
- OpenGrADS 2.0.2 win32
- Strawberry Perl 5.20.1.1 32bit

My ctl-file is created with the following command:
perl g2ctl -0 EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2 > EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2.ctl

Here, the first strange thing happened: g2ctl generated an ctl-file with the variable-name "var019225hy0_0". As OpenGrADS can't handle this variable name, I renamed the variable to "test". As a result, I got the ctl-file
EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2.ctl (see attachment)

Now I used the following command to get the index-file:
gribmap -v -0 -i EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2.ctl
The index-file is also attached.

With the command
grads -l -c "open EDP_MAX_LUIR_201311130000_f001_l0260.gb2.ctl"
and
display test
I was able to open the file in OpenGrADS. I can see an empty map, but nothing more.

I can visualize the Grib2-File from
http://www.nomad5.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gdas.20141017/gdas1.t06z.engicegrb.grib2
with the above commands, but not my own Grib2-File. My problem is also, that I don't know what is in the Grib2-File. It is a file from our customer and it's my task to visualize it. Unfortunately even our customer can't give me a visualisation of the file.

Hope you can help me.

Kind regards

Tom Kalkov
