Hello NCL users,

I want to plot MPE data in GRIB2 from EUMETSAT, which can be found here :
http://oiswww.eumetsat.int/~idds/html/grib.html

When i dump the grib file i get the message below.

What this is mean and is there a way or a typical script to plot this kind
of data.

Best regards,
Rabah Hachelaf
