[GEMPAK #ZJY-728084]: GEFS dcgrib2 question
- Subject: [GEMPAK #ZJY-728084]: GEFS dcgrib2 question

Hi Nick,
I apologize for how long it took me to reply to your message. I do not have an
answer for you off the top of my head, and would like to take a look at the
grib2 file you are using, and know the exact dcgrib2 command you are using for
the GEFS decoding.
At Unidata we are decoding the full GEFS into GEMPAK grid files without any
errors of the sort, so I'm not sure if you're doing something particular with
the grib file to only decode SLP, such as splitting it into a single message.
Please fill me in with as much detail as possible and I will look at this for
you.
If you can, please upload any grib2 files to the GEMPAK support repository
located at
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/gempakuploads/
since this mailbox can not accept large file attachments.
Best,
Michael James
