Hi Frank, tks for the answer.

CTL is an ASCII file that follows Grib files (at least here) and informs the metadata of the Grib file. If anyone consider helping me my data is available by ftp in ftp1.cptec.inpe.br inside bdados folder, as my map file is.

I access them with
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/grib.map&mode=map&layer=grib1
or
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/grib.map&mode=map&layer=tif1

And the results are almost the same (the diff is the color), a line below S.A.

Tks

As u can see the size according to the its header is 161x98, but all the bands are related as 161x1 block. Why does it happen?

Roberto,

This means that the file (and bands) are 161x98, but the bands
are subdivided into blocks which are 161x1 implying that the natural
access chunk is a scanline.  This is normal.

Another thing I noticed is that the dif between upper and lower latitude in the corner coordinates is very small (-61.246 to -61.426).

This appears to be screwed up.  Perhaps you could provide the file,
and file a ticket about this?

The issue is that, when mapserver renders this layer it only draws a straight line below South America, exactly where the whole image should start, as my CTL below shows.

What is "CTL"?

PS. this would likely be better addressed on gdal-dev.  Any ticket
should be filed in the GDAL Trac.

According to my gdainfo output file attached, can anyone tell me what element could be a CLASSITEM?

Roberto,

In MapServer you always classify rasters based on the item [pixel] but
you do not need to explicitly state a classitem.

This is a relatively simple example of raster classification.

LAYER
  NAME grid1
  TYPE raster
  STATUS default
  DATA data/float.tif
  CLASS
    NAME "red"
    EXPRESSION ([pixel] < -3)
    COLOR 255 0 0
  END
  CLASS
    NAME "green"
    EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= -3 and [pixel] < 3)
    COLOR 0 255 0
  END
  CLASS
    NAME "blue"
    EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= 3)
    COLOR 0 0 255
  END
END

I can see my grib using Grads but what tool do I use to translate individual bands into GeoTIFF?

You can use gdal_translate to extract particular bands from a grib file
as a geotiff (or all the bands).  For instance, the following would
extract band 3 (total precipitation):

gdal_translate -b 3 T126L28.grb total_precip.tif

Converting the data on-the-fly to an image is the right way to work?

Having MapServer access the grib file on the fly rather than depending
on pre-translated extracts will reduce data duplication and may help
avoid confusion about what is up to date.  However, it is possible that
there will be a performance penalty for extracting directly from GRIB.
If so, it may not be significant enough to matter to you.

What are the problems with Apache if I do not do so?

I don't see how either approach relates to Apache.  It is a
data management and possibly performance issue with MapServer.
