I am trying to use data from a meteorological model that contains many model levels. Because of this, it seems the grib files are too large to be ingested by WPS. When I run ungrib.exe, I get the successful completion message but I can tell from the log that only some of the model levels have been read. This later causes a dimension disagreement and an error when running metgrid.exe.
It seems that ungrib.exe will read no more than 258 grib messages. Similarly, when I run g2print.exe, only 258 grib message are displayed but I know the grib file contains more than twice as many messages (confirmed by running ncl_filedump on the grib files). I could divide the input met data into more grib files. I was hoping there is an easier fix- perhaps some magic number that caps the number of grib message that WPS programs will read?
