Hi Richard,
There have been lots of updates made to the GRIB reader in NCL this
year. If your version of NCL is version 4.2.0.a027 or older, then you
may not have access to these updates, some of which might solve the
above problem. (The NCL version number is echoed every time you run
NCL.)
If you are running the latest version of NCL and yet still having
problems, then if you can email me the GRIB file, or put it on an
anonymous ftp/web site, then we will be happy to take a look at it.
Cheers,
--Mary
