Hello all,

 

I hope this isn’t a remedial question but I’m not a java expert and I’m stumped.

 

I have a grib2 file (a GFS212 40KM grid).  I have no problem converting it into a netcdf file using the following command:

 

java -Xmx512m ucar.nc2.iosp.grib.Grib2Netcdf 2007033006_gfs_40.grib 20070330_0600_in.nc 

 

I do not like how this file is parameterized (both variable names and units) and would like to change this.  I see all the different tab files available in the resources/grib/tables/ directory.  How would I go about using another tab file (or one of my own) instead of what is default by using the above command?   
 
I have no problems using parameter tables using “gribtonc” (with grib1 files) with the –g option.  But this has me guessing.
 
Thanks as always for any help!!
