[ncl-talk] downloaded grib 2 files

[Walter Kolczynski]

Jerry,

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:

filename = "foo"
file = addfile( filename + ".grb2", "r" )

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.
