Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
Does anyone out there have the source for copygb2/convgrb? I use the copygb program from WPP all the time and would also like to do some manipulation of grib2. I found a FORTRAN source for it but it did not have some of the modules it needed.
What will be the status of the MET tool in relation to grib2?
Take care,
Joe

Subject: GRIB2 Support in MET
From: John Halley Gotway
Time: Mon Jun 21 15:23:46 2010
Joe,
This is a rather timely question. MET does not currently support
GRIB2 data. However, we've had it on our development list for a while
now and will be adding support for GRIB2 in the next year.
The primary motivation for supporting GRIB1 in the first place is that
the WRF PostProcessor writes its output in GRIB1. Over the next year
or so, the WPP will be replaced by the Unified PostProcessor,
developed by NCEP. Ultimately, the UPP will likely write out GRIB2
files - we're actually meeting with the NCEP folks about this
tomorrow. So really, that's the driver for MET development - we have
to support GRIB2 as soon as it's available through the UPP.
In the meantime, we do run the "cnvgrib" program to convert between
GRIB1 and GRIB2:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/
It is a bit tedious to compile all of the dependent libraries, but I
was able to get through it.
Hope that helps.
Also, did you recently receive a bugfix from WRF-Help for the
"GRIBIT.f" file to try to fix the problem you were having with output
times from WPP? Please let us know if that fixed worked. If so,
we'll post it to the website.
Thanks,
John Halley Gotway

Thanks for the help. We are testing the bug fix right now. I will let
you know how this worked tomorrow.
