Description:
Wgrib2 is a swiss army knife for grib2 files. You can use it inventory or
extract data. You can do basic database operations and other nifty things.

GRIB-2 has arrived and has begun replacing the the older standard GRIB
(GRIB-1). Since GRIB-2 can reduce the file size by upto 80% (NAM, JPEG2000
compression), converting to the new standard may be faster than some expected.

Wgrib2 has been out in the wild since 9/16/2005 (alpha release). The original
version was rough around the edges but the new design helped and now wgrib2
has much more functionality than the older wgrib.
