In order for NCL to recognize the file type, you need to use one of
the approved file extensions for that type when you open it (you
don't actually have to change the system filename). So if you want
to open a grib2 file that does not already end in grb2 or grib2, do
the following:<br>
<br>
filename = "foo"<br>
file = addfile( filename + ".grb2", "r" )<br>
<br>
The same is true if you are using ncl_filedump: add the appropriate
extension to the filename. In both cases, NCL will look for the file
sans extension as well but will use the extension to determine the
file type.<br>

<div>I'm bringing NCL support into this thread, as they
should be able to help you out on this issue. Could you
please follow up this e-mail and provide a more detailed
error message that is being returned by NCL? See the

<br>
<br>
I have downloaded some NCEP files that appear to be in
grib2 binary:
<br>
<br>
gfs.0p25b.2016033012.f036.<wbr>grib2.spasub.browning156421
<br>
<br>
on my UBUNTU 64 bit Debian linux OS. It seems that
NCL is not <br>
recognizing that it is a grib2 file.
<br>
Is there something I must do to have NCL recognize it?
Thank you for <br>
your help.
<br>
<br>
Jerry
