<DIV><SPAN class=906543905-05082008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the following
question about the utility gribmap. I have created a set of big grib-files
containing records with forecasted values at +12 and +36 of rainfall. Per year
one grib-file is generated with values at 12Z, so that I have rainfall values at
0Z +1) and (0Z +2). To display this data in GrADS I have gone through the
following steps:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=906543905-05082008><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I want to display
the data at t=367 (e.g. time=00ZJAN021961), which is actually 12ZDEC311960 +
36) I get the following error message. I guess that GrADS tries to extract
this data from the wrong GRIB file. How do I overcome this problem? Any
suggestions?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
