<p>Hi,</p>
<p>to download GRIB files from GFS , I have created a Windows
application, just download from the link, and unzip.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>With the program, you can select the model run time,date,
forecast length, forecast step, levels, parameters to download.
You can even specify your area to make grib files smaller for
download.</p>
<p>You can also use it to create control (.ctl) and index (.idx)
files which you need to work with gribs in Grads.</p>
<p>If you dont like the programm, it also allows you to create the
batch (.bat) file, which can be used to download files
automatically, based on your settings.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>After you have the ctl and idx files, just use : 'open
nameofthefile.ctl' in your Grads script.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The link for the programm is:

<p>Would you have any questions, feel free to ask.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kindest regards,</p>

</p>
<p>P.S.: You need to have Active Perl for Windows installed, to be
able to create control file.</p>
