Stacey,

You would think this would be an easy calculation, but surprisingly it is not.

There is nothing I see the in the IDV formulas or grid diagnostics to
find the maximum value in a column. I think you would have to write your own
grid diagnostic formula.

What are the provenance of these data? Were they really originally in grib
format?

You may also wish to ask on address@hidden and see if anyone has any
ideas.

Best,
