The NCEPLIBS-g2 library reads and writes GRIB edition 2 files.
GRIdded Binary or General Regularly-distributed Information in Binary form (GRIB) is a data format for meteorological and forecast data, standardized by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). GRIB edition 2 (GRIB2) was approved by the WMO is 2003.
This library is part of the NCEPLIBS project.
