Thank you everyone for getting back to me.
My apologies for not including the location of my data. I downloaded it
from http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/rucanl/ for the appropriate date and
time. Let me respond to everyone's suggestions.
1. When I run:
od -c ruc2anl_130_20090605_2200_000.grb | less
I get output:
0000000 051107 041111 075003 000752 000000 001034 064407 100202
0000020 062007 164003 003011 013005 000400 000000 000001 000000
0000040 000025 000400 000000 000052 001777 141401 050401 037400
0000060 100631 135354 100410 014163 032000 000351 164464 040000, etc.
2. When I run:
wgrib ruc2anl_130_20090605_2200_000.grb
I get output:
1:0:d=09060522:HGT:kpds5=7:kpds6=100:kpds7=1000:TR=1:P1=0:P2=0:TimeU=1:1000
mb:anl:NAve=0
3. When I run:
wgrib -v ruc2anl_130_20090605_2200_000.grb
I get similar output:
1:0:D=2009060522:HGT:1000 mb:kpds=7,100,1000:anl:winds in grid
direction:"Geopotential height [gpm]
4. George, you mentioned that "It is possible that the program does not
know about GRIB2 fields, specific to the office that created the file." By
program, are you referring to the program I am using to process these
data? Or are you referring to another program? I am not able to test the
wgrib2 command at the moment because I do not have the permissions to
install it (my advisor will have to do that).
It appears that wgrib at least recognizes the *.grb file. Are the lists of
the grids as they should be? Perhaps something small is getting lost in
the conversion process that my processing code (using Warning Decision
Support System - Integrated Information algorithms) cannot reconcile?
Thank you for the continued help!
