Missy,

Is the raw grid file a ruc2 file?


Run gribtonc in verbose mode with the messages to the screen, ie

% gribtonc -vl - ruc2.cdl ruc2.nc < ruc2.raw

This should show the details.  If you send a sample of the output, I can
help get you started.

Also, you can use gribdump to show the contents of the raw grib file.

%gribdump grid.raw | more


The grib documentation is located at:
