[ncl-talk] Error reading grib file

[Xin Zhou]

Thank you very much!

It seems "addfile" cannot access the data. I'm not sure whether the
documented format is correct, or the files that I downloaded are corrupted.
Because I only meet this problem using the dataset from UCAR's research
data archieve (http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds507.5/).

Best,
Xin
