I had to set BIG_ENDIAN for the RandomAccessFile (raf.order(RandomAccessFile.BIG_ENDIAN);).... Many greetings from Germany, Katja Moritz -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Moritz, Katja (LfU) Gesendet: Montag, 8. Februar 2010 11:06 An: 'address@hidden' Betreff: Grib2-Decoder Dear Mr. Kambic, my name is Katja Moritz and i am working for the Bavarian Environment Agency in Munich, Germany at the Flood Information Centre. Since the German Wether Service (DWD) will provide us in the future with grib2-data it is my task to process this data. We already use some Java-Applications so it would be great, if we could use your Java-Decoder! I already made a first attempt to read a testfile from the DWD (see attachement) and it worked out fine. Only the values i receive with the getData()-Method of the Grib2DataSection can't be correct - they are fare too negative. I already compared the values with the values i get with the C-program GRIB API (ECMWF). Those values looked ok. What do you think is wrong with the data? Do i use your code correctly? Many thanks in advance und many greetings from Munich! Yours sincerely, Katja Moritz ----------------------------------- Dipl.-Hydr.
