like to use NCL to plot a set of grib2 files. The files are of NAM
output in 5-minute intervals spanning over 36 hours. The files contain a
field called "forecast_time" which has a value 0-36 for the on-the-hour
files, but a value in minutes (0-2155) for the 5-minute intervals
between the hours. NCL has no trouble reading any of the 5-minute files
via "addfile()" for the first 17 hours. However at 17:05, when
forecast_time=1025, NCL's "addfile()" command gives the error
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)." This problem persists for all
5-minute files between hours 17 and 36. We hypothesize this is because
the value of forecast_time (1025) may be exceeding the allotted storage
space for forecast_time in NCL (10 bits?... i.e. 2^10=1024) Would
anyone be able to confirm/refute this hypothesis and provide a way to
work around it? <br><br></div>Thank you, <br></div>Michael</div></div></div></div>
