Hi Robb,
yes, the netcdf4-java code seems to be consistent in reporting fill
values in the upper hybrid levels. But wgrib2 reports real data up there.

Hi Robb,
Thanks for this. The new netcdf4-java works nearly perfectly.
Unfortunately, for one of the variables I'm trying to read out of the
file, upper levels are filled with fill-values. Its odd, but I've
written a bare-bones simple program to read the variable, and I'm
getting nothing but fill values above hybrid level 41 for variable
"VPTMP", also known as Virtual_potential_temperature in netCDF-land.
Bill,
i display the ruc_sample.grig2 in toolsUI, hybrid levels ~42 to 50 had
fill values. i even dumped Virtual_potential_temperature hybrid level
using the low level reader Grib2GetData it had all fill values.
this was for hybrid level 45
Grib2GetData C:\data\grib\ruc_sample.grib2 7851442 7851523
If you look at the java docs on the home page it has routines Grib2Dump,
Grib2Indexer, ShowGrib, etc that lets one inspect low level values.
RObb...
The grib2 file is at http://ruc.noaa.gov/ruc_sample.grib2
The relevant part of the code that reads it below.
ncfile = NetcdfFile.open(filename);
Debug.println("ncfile is "+ncfile);
//Debug.println(""+ncfile.getDetailInfo());
Array data4D;
Variable v = null;
Attribute a = null;
// get grid parameters for most variables
Dimension d = ncfile.findDimension("hybrid");
if(d == null) {
Debug.println("Bad dimension for hybrid");
System.exit(1);
}
tuv_levels = d.getLength();
// get variables
int[] origin = new int[] {0, 0, 112,121};
int[] tuv_size = new int[] {1, tuv_levels, 1,1};
v = ncfile.findVariable("Virtual_potential_temperature");
data4D = v.read(origin, tuv_size);
Tvar = (double[])data4D.reduce().get1DJavaArray(double.class);
...
for(int i=0;i<tuv_levels;i++) {
Debug.println("i: "+i+" t "+Tvar[i]);
}
This seems pretty obscure, inasmuch as it doesn't effect other
variables like pressure, but I fail to find any problem in my code,
even after simplifying it down to bare bones.
wgrib2 shows data in all the levels for the specific column specified
above.
I'd appreciate whatever help you can provide.
-Bill

Hi Robb,
any update on this? Is a new version of netcdf4-java available that
will read the grib2 RUC format with its hybrid coordinates?
The netcdf4-java with the hybrid level fixes are available at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/
let me know if you find any problems.
