> Hi, > > I have a dataset (attached) in grib format. It is the output from the climate > model EC-Earth, that is to say the atmospheric model IFS from ECMWF. > I’m having trouble opening this grib file with either Panoply, netcdf-java > tools UI, or IDV. The failure returns an error stating that a dimension has a > value of -9999. > Conversion of this file to netcdf using CDO works flawlessly, and CDO can > even read the grib file without any trouble. I’ve consulted with the > developer of Panoply who > also failed to solve the issue and referred me to to support-netcdf-java. > > Your help is greatly appreciated in solving this problem, > > Kindest regards, > /Marston > > Hi Marston: Its some kind of thinned grid from ECMWF, that we havent seen before.
