Jim, There is now a beta decoders release, decoders-2.4.0.tar.Z. It's located in the Unidata ftp directory under /pub/decoders. It contains a avn-1.0x1.0.cdl in the NUWG format. But, this release has the possiblity to create a cdl file using a new program gritocdl. gribtocdl also can over-ride the NUWG format with other names. This option hasn't been tested, so I can't verified this feature. It was created by some outside Unidata programmers. There's a man pages include in the release on gribtocdl, gribtonc, and gribdump. If one uses the over-ride option with gribtocdl, then it also has to be used with gribtonc. Since this is a beta release, I would appreciate any input. At this point, I'm filling in the missing parts of the standard gribtonc processing. If you install this code, I would save the last release/binaries as a backup. Also, I would appreciate any of the CF or COARDS cdls/tables if you created them as a referance. Thanks, Robb... gribtocdl willThere's a man page include in the release. gribtocdl will On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Don Murray wrote: > Hi Jim- > > Jim Steenburgh wrote: > > As far as the netCDF goes, I'm using gribtonc and simply need a CF > > or COARDS formatted cdl file. > > I talked to Robb Kambic about this and he's been working > on a new version of gribtonc that has a CDL for the 1x1 > AVN grid.
