Dear WRF users,
  I encounter a problem when trying to ungrib the fixed data of NARR.
I downloaded the 32km_native.EGDFIX.fixed data and ran link_grib.csh
and then ran ungrib.exe (just follow the advice in Vtable.NARR of WPS).
However, it turned out:
ungrib - grib edition num           1
 
GRIB SECTION 0:
     Grib Length                            :  172058

Unrecognized grid:      203
This grid is not currently supported.
Write your own program to put the data to the intermediate format
 
And the program ungrib can not run successfully.

Does anyone encounter such problem and know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance


Peng Liu
