Hi,

Can you be more specific about what variables and/or fields you expected to see on the file? Here's what I see (using an internal version of NCL):

filename: ice_15_10101718
path: ice_15_10101718.grb2
   file global attributes:
   dimensions:
      lat_0 = 145
      lon_0 = 288
   variables:
      float ICIP_P15_GLL0_avg ( lat_0, lon_0 )
         center : U.K. Met Office - Exeter
         production_status : Operational test products
         long_name : Icing
         units : %
         _FillValue : 1e+20
         grid_type : Latitude/longitude
         parameter_discipline_and_category : Meteorological products, Physical atmospheric properties
         parameter_template_discipline_category_number : ( 15, 0, 19, 20 )
         type_of_statistical_processing : Average
         forecast_time : 0
         forecast_time_units : hours
         initial_time : 10/17/2010 (18:00)

      float ICIP_P15_GLL0_max ( lat_0, lon_0 )
         center : U.K. Met Office - Exeter
         production_status : Operational test products
         long_name : Icing
         units : %
         _FillValue : 1e+20
         grid_type : Latitude/longitude
         parameter_discipline_and_category : Meteorological products, Physical atmospheric properties
         parameter_template_discipline_category_number : ( 15, 0, 19, 20 )
         type_of_statistical_processing : Maximum
         forecast_time : 0
         forecast_time_units : hours
         initial_time : 10/17/2010 (18:00)
      float lat_0 ( lat_0 )
         long_name : latitude
         grid_type : Latitude/Longitude
         units : degrees_north
         Dj : 1.25
         Di : 1.25
         Lo2 : 358.7499
         La2 : 90
         Lo1 : 0
         La1 : -90

      float lon_0 ( lon_0 )
         long_name : longitude
         grid_type : Latitude/Longitude
         units : degrees_east
         Dj : 1.25
         Di : 1.25
         Lo2 : 358.7499
         La2 : 90
         Lo1 : 0
         La1 : -90
