Dave, I am just starting to look at this, it might take a couple of days. I'm busy getting an LDM workshop together. I just looked at the new GRIB documentation, it has info on ruc2. It's located at:
I noticed there is a new version of the GRIB document (Office Note 388)
dated >March 10, 1998 in ftp://nic.fb4.noaa.gov/pub/doc/nws/nmc/gribed1. Thought you >might be interested. There might need to be some changes to the gribtonc source code. I would use gribdump and the comment out method of the offending variables in the cdl file until gribtonc can process the file. Since I'm not a meteorologist, I have to depend on help from my cohorts. Keep me abreast of your progress also. Thanks, Robb... On Mon, 24 Aug 1998 laps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:
robb, i am trying to use 'gribtonc' to convert the ruc2 native 40km model from the oso server to netcdf. fsl gave me a cdl file they use for this model. i dont know why this is so difficult. i am not sure that they us the gribtonc program to accomplish their convertion, but this cdl convention should work with this model. right? here is my command line stuff: cyclone[bennett]291>ncgen -o ruc2.nc ruc2.cdl cyclone[bennett]292>gribtonc -l log -v ruc2.nc < ruc2.T12Z.bgrbanl cyclone[bennett]293>more log Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: Starting Up Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: Error parsing units: Pascals / second Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: ruc2.nc: can't get units attribute for variable w Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: GRIB units `degK' not conformable with variable Tv:units Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: Error parsing units: WMO centers table Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: ruc2.nc: can't get units attribute for variable center_id Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: ruc2.nc: no datetimeid variable Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: make_ncfile failed Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: can't create output netCDF file ruc2.nc, exiting Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: Exiting Aug 24 20:15:54 gribtonc[19142]: 0 WMO msgs, 0 GRIBs decoded, 0 written i added the datetime variable but that didn't matter. the center_id is actually in the cdl file so that doesn't make sense to me. the error about Tv:units is also a mystery. Tv is tropopause v-winds which has units m/s so where does 'degK' come from? your help here would be great if you have the time. thanks... dave bennett ================================== CDL FILE ================================== netcdf ruc2_40km_hybridb.cdl { dimensions: record = unlimited;
