I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're trying to do. Could you please send your descriptor file, the output from wgrib, and also from gribmap? If the grib files are big, just send a sample of the wgrib output from the first 10 or 20 records of each data file your trying to template together. That ought to be enough to figure out what's in your files and how you're trying to map them into a time series. <div>Jennifer</div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 4, 2008, at 10:36 AM, Maat, Herbert ter wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div><span class="906543905-05082008"><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear GrADS-users,</font></span></div> <div><span class="906543905-05082008"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div><span class="906543905-05082008"><font face="Arial" size="2">This message was submitted to this list already a month ago, but I haven't received any answer yet.</font></span></div> <div><span class="906543905-05082008"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div><span class="906543905-05082008"><font face="Arial" size="2">I have the following question about the utility gribmap.
