[ncl-talk] Is there a workaround for entries not found in grib file?

[Andrew Kren - NOAA Federal]

Hi ncl-talk,

Not sure if this is fixable, but when I do an ncl_filedump on one of the
HRRR (high-res atmospheric model) grib files, I get several warnings:

I also get several variables where it says:


float VAR_0_7_206_P0_2L103_GLC0 ( ygrid_0, xgrid_0 )

         center :       US National Weather Service - NCEP (WMC)

         production_status :    Operational products

         long_name :    unknown variable name

         units :        unknown

         _FillValue :   1e+20

         coordinates :  gridlat_0 gridlon_0

         grid_type :    Lambert Conformal can be secant or tangent, conical
or bipolar

         parameter_discipline_and_category :    Meteorological products,
Thermodynamic stability indices

         parameter_template_discipline_category_number :        ( 0, 0, 7,
206 )

         level_type :   Specified height level above ground (m)

         level :        (  0, 500 )

         forecast_time :        6

         forecast_time_units :  hours

         initial_time : 09/23/2021 (00:00)


I know what these errors mean, that the variables are not distinguishable
by the grib tables in ncl. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how
best to rectify this issue? Is there a way to figure out the variable names?

Thanks much as always!
