Re: [netcdf-java] NetCDF Java and ECMWF, SuperHiRes, Gaussian Grid

Hi Cos,

Unfortunately, this won't help much. With GRIB, we really need the exact table used to create the file in order to read it with any level of confidence. netCDF-Java relies on these tables in order to be as generic as possible; the wgrib2 utility has some
"fixes", at the code level, to explicitly handle corner cases.

Cheers,

Sean

Hi Sean,

We are currently chasing this. In the mean time, is this something that would help? http://www.ecmwf.int/services/archive/d/table/grib_table_2_versions/

Greetings Cosmin,

It looks like there is a grib table problem. It's possible that ECMWF used a grib table that overwrote some of the standard WMO table entries and thus we have issues decoding the grib file. Would you happen to have the grib2 table that corresponds to this data file, or would you know whom to contact to get that
table?

Cheers,

Sean

Greetings Cosmin,

Yes, I have the file now. Let me do some digging and I'll let you know what I find.

Hi Sean,

Just wanted to confirm that you got the file? Please let me know if there is anything else that I can help with.

Cheers,

Greetings Cosmin,

Would it be possible to get a sample grib file for us to work with here
at Unidata? If so, please upload an example here:

motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/netcdfuploads <http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/netcdfuploads>

Thanks!

Hi Sean,

Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that - we are indeed using 4.3.16

Cheers

Greetings Cosmin,

I just want to make sure you are trying this using the latest version of netCDF-Java,
which is 4.3.16:

Thanks!

Hello,


We are working on reading some of the ECMWF's Super Hi Res GRIB files, delivered in GRIB2 format, using a Gaussian grid.

There are some situations where we cannot read some of these files since the code crashes as soon as we try to open the dataset:

    NetcdfDataset dataset = NetcdfDataset.openDataset(filePath);


We are currently not sure what causes this, since using other tools (wgrib2) we can access this data. However, using the NetCDF Java library we get this type of exception as soon as we open the file:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Dimension length =-9999 must be > 0


We'd like to know if you happened to run into this or if you know what might cause it.


Thank you in advance,

Cosmin
