<div dir="ltr">I'm having a hard time with *some* ECMWF data that I'm subscribed to.
<div>I am using grads (opengrads), gribmap & <a href="http://grib2ctl.pl">grib2ctl.pl</a> to generate the CTL & IDX files. The file format is Grib1.</div>
<div>- Using grib2ctl version <span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">0.9.12.6</span></div>
<div><span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">- Using gribmap "for grads version 2.0.1.oga.1"</span></div>
<div><span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">- Using wgrib 1.8.1.0b</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem exists with 'level' data, but not all level data. In the example below, I can map the 850mb winds, but not the 500mb.</div>
<div>Try </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>set lev 500</div>
<div>d uprs </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>as an example. I get an 'entire grid undefined' message.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was able to open the data using the tkdegrib package and output uprs @ 500mb level in CSV format, and see that indeed the data is in there and looks good. Just can't visualize it in Grads for some reason.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's a temporary link to example files:</div>

</div>
<div>Any thoughts?</div>
