NoValidGribException: No valid GRIB records found for RAP and NAM wind data

[gaci0703]

Hello.
You have recently updated the jgribx.jar to handle the following data: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.gfs_CY.00/RD.20220705/PT.grid_DF.gr2/.
Now I am having issues with NAM and RAP data:

https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.rap_CY.06/RD.20220725/PT.grid_DF.gr2/ - for RAP and https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/ST.opnl/MT.nam_AR.ak_CY.06/RD.20220725/PT.grid_DF.gr2/ for NAM

For the RD.20220725 above- please update to the current date to see data for that day.

When I put this data into a GribFile, I get the NoValidGribException. I am using the current version of the JGribX.jar. After downloading one of these records from this url, I also checked using java -jar JGribX.jar -i grib2.grb and I get the same NoValidGribException. Can you please tell me what is wrong with this data?

Thank you so much for helping with decoding GFS - hopefully it will not be a big issue for RAP and NAM.

Hi @gaci0703,

Thanks for opening a new issue on this. The links you've shared do not work for me. Can you share them some other way?

Change the date after RD. to current day to see data.

Ok I've managed to access the files now. Taking this file as reference, I see that JGribX is skipping all records since they all use grid type 30 (Lambert Conformal), which is currently not supported. You can see this as well by adding -l 3 when calling JGribX to include warning messages.

I've already received a request to look into this in #10. I'll see if I can prioritize it.

Thank you so much. I will keep checking.
