Re: grib2 templates

Hello Alberto,

Apologies for the delayed response, some time was needed to fully
research this issue:

As you state, Template 4.40 is not part of the official WMO GRIB2
standard set. ECMWF can, and does, choose to
read it with their software tools.

At the moment, until such time as Template 4.40 becomes part of the
standard set, NCL does not have a way to
be told to manage this template.

I am looking into modifying certain codes to be able to do so, and
will let you know more as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.
