Brandon,
the grib.jar api is just a level to decode the grib files, nj22 sits ontop
of it to do the work for specifc parameters based on their parameter
name/number, level type, and level. the nj22 code is available at:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf-java/index.html
the files used to handle the grib files is located at:
src/ucar/nc2/iosp/grib in the distribution. i would download the src for
2.2.10 and build it. run the toolUI program settng breakpoints in the src
to find the routines to perform the functions you are investigating.
