cdo 1.6.0 (win32) crashes when checking BallGate grb files

Added by Lutz Bendlin almost 12 years ago

The BallGate GRIB viewer is unable to open grb files that have been created with cdo ( via cdo -f grb ), and conversely cdo 1.6.0 for 32 bit Windows is crashing hard on Windows XP when trying to do an sinfo on grb files that BallGate can open nicely. Attached is a sample file.

Could you please help me understand what the file structure issues might be that lead to this incompatibility?

Here's what BallGate has to say about the grb files created through cdo 1.6.0

It works fine on CDO linux:

cdo sinfo: Processed 2 variables over 61 timesteps ( 0.00s )

Is this "BallGate" is using any external GRIB library, for example NCEP/GRIB_API or ?

As far as I can see they only use ncdump and cnvgrib

I just tested with an older Win32 version of CDO (1.0.9) and sinfo worked as well.
