where d is Discipline #, c is Category #, and p is Parameter #

these are the 2,3, and 4 numbers in the index file product line.

51 0 -1 11 100 100 255 0 1997-07-01T00:00:00Z 1 388778898 86 180122 3
false

d =0 ( meteorological products), c = -1 (grib1 doesn't have cat's so -1
), and p =11  (Temp)
