<div dir="ltr"><div>I'm not an expert on reading wgrib output, but I don't see anything that immediately strikes me as wrong. I do find it odd that there is one output for each of the five levels, though. Doesn't mean anything is wrong, though. The only help I can further offer is to make sure you used gribmap on the control file to create the index file. I would think Grads would give you a more obvious error if the index file didn't exist, but maybe it didn't. If that doesn't solve your problem, someone else wiser than me will have to step in and help you.<br>
