<div dir="ltr">These files have almost 600,000 bytes of non-GRIB data before the first GRIB record is encountered in the file. This is not officially wrong according to the GRIB spec but it is pretty unusual at least compared to the GRIB files we usually encounter. NCL currently reads close to 500,000 bytes before it concludes that the file does not contain valid GRIB data. Perhaps it needs to read through the whole file before reaching this conclusion. I will create a ticket and we will address this issue.<div> -dave</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 12:46 PM, Partha Bhattacharjee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pbhatta2@jhu.edu" target="_blank">pbhatta2@jhu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
