I think it's what you need but I'm not sure. I've found this here: http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/WDM/Guides/Guide-binary-2.html#GRIB Thanks a lot Julien -----Message d'origine----- De : Unidata netCDF Java Support [mailto:address@hidden] Envoyé : jeudi 14 septembre 2006 23:19 À : address@hidden Cc : address@hidden; address@hidden Objet : [netCdfJava #WCC-197892]: New problem with Grib12Netcdf Julian, could you send me a text representation of the French weather service parameter table, it's table center 85 sub center 0 # 1 I'll enter into the list of tables then your file can be decoded if no other problems arise. thanks, Robb...
