I don't know anything about CCSDS, but it sounds as if you could use the FILEHEADER option in a GrADS descriptor file to bypass the headers and just read the data section. If you are doing any file templating, then the sizes of those headers would have to be
consistent for every file. <br>

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't see the answer to my question in the 2022-2023 archives.</div>

Is there a way to get grads to read CCSDS-packed data? Thanks in advance.</div>
