Avichal,

we need the same GDS info as the Grib1 products, La1, Lo1, La2, Lo2, Di, and 
Dj.  I cut and pasted
the info from NCEP grib1 documentation.

11 - 13
        La1 - latitude of first grid point; units: millidegrees (degrees x 
1000); values limited to range 0 - 90,000; bit 1 (leftmost) set to 1 for south 
latitude
14 - 16
        Lo1 - longitude of first grid point; units: millidegrees (degrees x 
1000); values limited to range 0 - 360,000; bit 1 (leftmost) set to 1 for west 
longitude
17
        Resolution and component flags (See Table 7)
18 - 20
        La2 - Latitude of last grid point
(same units, value range, and bit 1 as La1)
21 - 23
        Lo2 - Longitude of last grid point (same units, value range, and bit 1 
as Lo1)
24 - 25
        Di - Longitudinal Direction Increment (same units as Lo1) (if not 
given, all bits set = 1)
26 - 27
        Regular Lat/Lon Grid: Dj - Latitudinal Direction Increment (same units 
as La1) (if not given, all bits set = 1)
or
Gaussian Grid: N - number of latitude circles between a pole and the equator 
Mandatory if Gaussian Grid specified
