Pelin,
attached is Grib1ExtractRawData.java class. Put it in the grib1 dir and
compile. it will extract the first record if not parm # is given or all
the records of a certain parm, ie
% java -Xmx256m ucar/grib/grib1/Grib1ExtractRawData RUC.grib1 >
RUC1rec.grib1
or
% java -Xmx256m ucar/grib/grib1/Grib1ExtractRawData RUC.grib1 7 >
RUCparm7.grib1
can you create a file either 1 record or one with a reasonable # of parms
so i can use it as a test case.

Robb,
I can attach the original ecmwf grib file if you want me to do so. It is
about 35MB... When I zip it, it didn't make much difference. Please let
me know how you want to proceed.
If I read the dx and dy values by using readShort method in the
Grib1GridDefinitionSection.java this is how grid definition section
looks like in the grib index file:
GDSkey = 1015536804
grid_type = 0
grid_name = Latitude/Longitude Grid
grid_shape_code = 0
grid_shape = spherical
grid_radius_spherical_earth = 6367.47

If I read the same variables by using readInt2 method in the

Robb,
I've been registered to address@hidden and I was sending my
questions to 'address@hidden' all the time. I don't know
how
it is being handled from there and how it falls into your spam. I
started to think that you were ignoring my messages. <:)
After sending this message, I made a little change in my code to read
Grib1GridDefinitionSection.params field to get HashMap of the
parameters. This helped me to get all the information I needed.
However,
in the grib1 index file, the Dx and Dy fields of the grid definition
section was still displaying wrong numbers. My colleague and I started
looking into the Grib1GridDefinitionSection.java. In the section where
the information obtained from octets 24-25 (Dx) and octets 26-27(Dy or
np), they were being read as "short". We changed them to read by using
GribNumbers.int2 method (please see the following code snippet). It
started spitting out the correct numbers.
Sincerely,
Pelin Bali.
Pelin,
Here's my findings so far, the only time readSHort returns a wrong
value
is the missing value scenario. ie when byte 1 and 2 = 255. readShort
returns -0.0010 and GribNumbers.int2 return -9999. Is this what you are
seeing? If not could you make available a file that i can test.
thanks,
robb...
case 202 :
// octets 18-20 (La2 - latitude of last grid point)
lat2 = GribNumbers.int3(raf) / 1000.0;
// octets 21-23 (Lo2 - longitude of last grid point)
lon2 = GribNumbers.int3(raf) / 1000.0;
// octets 24-25 (Dx - Longitudinal Direction Increment )
//------------------------------------------------------
// This is where we made the change.
//-------------------------------------------------------
//dx = raf.readShort() / 1000.0;
dx = GribNumbers.int2(raf) / 1000.0;
// octets 26-27 (Dy - Latitudinal Direction Increment )

} else {

Bali,
your support msg has been sitting in my spam folder for months now, i
just
clean it out so that;s the reason for delay. There is an online
support
on unidata's home page and it's more dependable.
I going to address your msg in a general manner until we get to the
same
level. The Grib decoder package was meant to only be a low level API,
the
data resolution that you are looking for would be easier to use a
ToolsUI
program the uses the Grib package. Actually i think you should be able
to
do the refinement w/o doing any coding. The ToolsUI program is located
at:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/
It will read in the file and it has options to select areas of data,
the
documentation is a little scarce but intuitive. The is also NCML that
will
let you manipulate the output files.
On the other hand:
The grib package provides a dump, indexer and getData program that can
be
used as templates to get the info you were looking for. There are
javadocs
on all these routines on the decoders page.
There is also a display package IDV that could do the data processing.
Hope this helps.

Subject: decoders] Grib1 Indexer and GDS info
I am using the Grib1Indexer to read the Grib file. I need to get the
information lat, long, and nxny (145 X 73) as indicated below. I
tried
to use Index.GdsRecord, however I wasn't successful. Although I could
get start points of lat and long, I wasn't able to get neither
resolution nor the end points of lat & long by using gdsRecord. Could
you please show me some that direction on how to get this
information?
Thanks in advance.
