Hi Flavio, Sorry I did not get back to you sooner, yesterday we had a national holiday. I do not know why the link did not work for you, I tested a file upload myself at http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/gempakuploads/ and it went through okay. Can you not connect to that URL at all, or are you seeing the error after uploading? What I meant about the grib tables is, the decoder is looking for files named "wmogrib203.tbl" and "wmogrib201.tbl", which do not exist. In the past, I have been able to simply copy (or sym link) another file in $GEMTBL/grid/, such as cd $GEMTBL/grid/ ln -s wmogrib131.tbl wmogrib203.tbl then the file will look like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 gempak ustaff 12 2013-12-11 13:48 wmogrib203.tbl -> wmogrib131.tbl and are available for dcgrib2 to find. However, if the grids you are trying to decode have non-standard parameters, the data may not be decoded correctly with a "default" table.
