Greetings. As of 06 28 2023 12z it seems the ECMWF's freely available WMO Essential grib2 data has changed (here<https://data.ecmwf.int/forecasts/20230628/12z/0p4-beta/oper/>). It is no longer fully processable by dcgrib2 or AWIPS EDEX We did not see any change notice on ECMWF web site or Google and were wondering if anyone else is experiencing the following (attached is a one-field <500 mb HGT> grib2 file), and if you did would you happen to know the cause and any workarounds? wgrib2 -v -V test.grb2 shows what looks like a viable grib2 file 1:0:vt=2023062803:500 mb:3 hour fcst:HGT Geopotential Height [gpm]: ndata=405900:undef=0:mean=5562.91:min=4689.51:max=5955.01 grid_template=0:winds(N/S): lat-lon grid:(900 x 451) units 1e-06 input WE:NS output WE:SN res 48 lat 90.000000 to -90.000000 by 0.400000 lon 180.000000 to 179.600000 by 0.400000 #points=405900 basic_ang=0 sub_angle=1000000 units=0.000001 unscaled lat=90000000 to -90000000 lon=180000000 to 179600000 As additional info a wgrib2 -v -V on a grib2 file previous to June 28 shows the same thing as above. However, NAWIPS 7.14.0.1 dcgrib2 -d temp.log -v 100 test.grd < test.grb2 gives the following error (in bold) [27248] 230628/1520[DCINIT 3] Version 7.14.0.1 [27248] 230628/1520[DC 2] read 102399/102399 bytes strt 0 newstrt 102399 [27248] 230628/1520[DC 2] read 1/1 bytes strt 102399 newstrt 102400 [27248] 230628/1520[DC 2] read 83204/102397 bytes strt 0 newstrt 83204 [27248] 230628/1520[CED_GNUM -1] No GID KXKY [900 451] LL [90.000000 180.000000] UR [-90.000000 179.600006] [27248] 230628/1520[CED_GNUM -1] No GID KXKY [900 451] LL [90.000000 180.000000] UR [-90.000000 179.600006] [27248] 230628/1520[DC 2] read 0/19196 bytes strt 83204 newstrt 83204 [27248] 230628/1520[DCGRIB -9] End of Data [27248] 230628/1520[DC 5] Normal termination.
