ingesting GRIB files? [message #10395]

Hi,

I need to access some data in a GRIB format file.

I got "wgrib" from a NOAA website so I can inventory my data file
and cut chunks out OK.

Now I need to use IDL and make some pretty pictures.

My plan is to :

a. use wgrib to figure out what I need from the GRIB file

b. use wgrib to write out what I need as a binary file

c. slurp the binary file into IDL and plot it

My question is:

Is there an easier way to get GRIB data into IDL directly?
(ie, avoiding the intermediate binary file)

Any hints on reading GRIB files generally?

Thanks!

Ian
