gembuds... prolly for chiz...
the 0.5deg gfs conduit feeds
seem to be missing .5 deg of
data as compared to the raw
files downloaded via ncep... is
there any way around this?
i.e. note the error (s) when using
standard gdgrib2 then degrib
[ldm@beast bin]$ ./degrib -in chizgrib_F003.pgrb2 -P -Interp 2 -Separator
\",\" -Unit m -pntStyle 0 -pntFile places.txt -out chiz.txt
ERROR: In call to GRIB2Probe.
