[Geotools-gt2-users] GRIB format

[Daniele Romagnoli]

Hi guys.

I'm searching some documentations about the GRIB FORMAT because my knowledge about that is actually very weak.
Actualy I'm interested to know how metadata are contained in a record of this kind of format.

.....I have understood (I hope...) that a GRIB record is composed of 6 sections:

      Indicator section
Product Definition Section
Grid Description Section (optional)
Bit Map Section (optional)
Binary Data Section
End Section (7777)

And metadata are contained in the first 2 sections.

Can someone show me a link or send a document where I can find some examples of these metadata and their arrangement within the record?
If you need to add some observations you are the welcome ^_^

Thx a lot

regards,
Dany
