<div>Great to hear from you!</div>

<div>I don't have a ton of experience working with GRIB2 files, but I do see in the description of the CAT*, CTP*, and ICIP* variables different pressure levels listed. Is it possible that these arrays are valid on different sets of pressure fields that are
not covered in your ZDEF entry? You only have <span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size:13px">40000 35000 30000 25000 20000 15000 listed, but I wonder if it will work if you add 80000 70000
60000 and 50000 to the ZDEF entry.</span></div>
