> When loading the same Grib2 file in IDV 5.0 and 5.1(or 5.1u2), the fields

> 
> In version 5.1 there are two extra options available, namely TwoD and

> The problem I now have is IDV sessions created in version 5.0 no longer

Vic,

     This is very odd, I tried my local WRF output in GRIB2 format in the 5.1u2 
and not seeing this kind of structure. We would like to have
a sample file to study it.  Please upload a sample here:
