Hi All:
In my tests on my test server, it appears that you handle in some fashion
stacked GRIB files, which usually arise if you have say a month's worth of
6-hourly GRIB files and you say use the unix "cat" command to combine them into
one monthly file, which is still valid GRIB file. My question is how you
handle time in those cases, since if I go by the file name it is only say
g201301 - so you only have the year and month. Do you just assume that the
first file is at 0 offset and work you way along, or do you get the time from
the stacked files? The former will have problems if as is sometimes the case,
there are missed 6-hourly periods in the stack.
Thanks,
-Roy M.
