tocgrib2()

program tocgrib2

Program reads selected GRIB2 fields from a file, adds a TOC Flag Field separator block and WMO Header in front of each GRIB2 field, and writes them out to a new file.

The output file is in the format required for TOC's FTP Input Service, which can be used to disseminate the GRIB2 bulletins. See [File Transfer Input Service Guide - Input examples and how to FTP files to the Gateway] (https://www.weather.gov/tg/ftpingest).

Note

The "EXTRACT" variable in the namelist allows users to choose whether they want the entire GRIB2 message containing the requested field (extract=.false.), OR a GRIB2 message containing only the requested field (extract=.true.). Both options return the same message if the requested field is the only field in the GRIB2 message.

• 11 input grib2 file.
