WGrib

WGRIB is a program to manipulate, inventory and decode GRIB files.


Introduction#

WGRIB is a program designed to decode and work with data in GRIB format, which is a common file format used in climate science. For more information, refer to the vendor website.

Using WGRIB on the HPC#

WGRIB does not require an environment module to be loaded to be run on RCC systems. In general, WGRIB requires a GRIB formatted input data file and a set of optional command-line flags. This generally has the form:

wgrib INFILE -[OPTIONS]

For detailed usage information either type wgrib with no inputs or options or refer to the README file available under the Documentation heading here at the official website. Further documentation is available under the Documentation heading on the main website as well.
