<p>I am running a GrADS v1.8SL7 32-bit on x86-64 and managed to
convert the GRIB-2 file to a .NC file using lats4d. I could only open the file
using sdfopen but am not able to display individual atmospheric fields . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would much like to work with GRIB-2 formatted data but the
GrADS version that I use appears to be short of g2gdf.pl, g2_open,g2_exec and
g2() functionalities. I was wondering if there is a website available that
contains information about installation of the mentioned functionalities.</p>
<p> </p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>The best way to deal with grib-2 data is to use GrADS v2 which supports it natively. I have implemented a stop gap extension in grads v1.9.0-rc1 that is able to read grib-2, but this path is not recommended unless you absolutely must run GrADS v1.9. Additional information about extensions for grads v1.9.0-rc1 can be found here:<br>
