See the official note below.</div><div><br></div><div>While testing the data, I noticed that my data was not being mapped corrected by GRADS, so I made sure I updated both <a href="http://g2ctl.pl">g2ctl.pl</a> (version <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre; ">0.0.4o</span>) AND wgrib2 to the absolute latest version (1.8.4). Once I had done that, the data was mapped correctly by wgrib2 and the plots in GRADS were as expected. I thought I'd pass on this information so that you don't spend hours wondering what's wrong as everything processes just fine with older versions with no warning messages, but the data is totally incorrectly mapped by wgrib2/g2ctl.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is the offical wgrib2 page: <a href="http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/wesley/wgrib2/index.html">http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/wesley/wgrib2/index.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Go to the following page to get <a href="http://g2ctl.pl">g2ctl.pl</a>: <a href="http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/wesley/g2ctl.html">http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/wesley/g2ctl.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>and here for the latest source code for wgrib2 : <a href="ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib2/">ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib2/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Also, for those of you plotting beyond hour 192 (high resolution) you may want to consider using the GFS Ensemble control run data which has forecasts every 6 hours out to 384 hours and the resolution is 1x1 degrees - this as opposed to the regular GFS which is only every 12hours at 2.5x2.5 degrees.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is the official note from NCEP: </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">86<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">NOUS41 KWBC 021253<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">PNSWSH<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION NOTICE 10-15<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HEADQUARTERS WASHINGTON DC<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">853 AM EDT FRI APR 2 2010<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">TO: SUBSCRIBERS:<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> -FAMILY OF SERVICES<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> -NOAA WEATHER WIRE SERVICE<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> -EMERGENCY MANAGERS WEATHER INFORMATION NETWORK<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> -NOAAPORT<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> OTHER NWS PARTNERS...USERS AND EMPLOYEES<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">FROM: TIMOTHY MCCLUNG<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> SCIENCE PLANS BRANCH CHIEF<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">SUBJECT: GLOBAL FORECAST SYSTEM CHANGES:<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"> EFFECTIVE JUNE 22 2010.<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">EFFECTIVE JUNE 22 2010...BEGINNING WITH THE 1200 COORDINATED<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">UNIVERSAL TIME /UTC/ RUN...THE NATIONAL CENTERS FOR<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">ENVIRONMENTAL PREDICTION /NCEP/ WILL UPGRADE THE GLOBAL<br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">FORECAST SYSTEM /GFS/.
