Reading grib2 from AROME forecast model about ngrib

[nmangue]

Hello Philippe,

Thank you for your kind feedback.

This particular AROME dataset uses the JPEG 2000 code stream format to encode the values. However NGrib does not support this data representation format yet (only simple or complex packing of float values). It should have raised an exception instead of reading wrong values.
The tricky part to add this support is to find (or adapt) a reliable, .NET Standard 2.0, open JPEG 2000 library. Would you be interested in implementing this functionality yourself ?

Best regards,
(Bien cordialement si vous êtes également francophone 😉)

Hello!

Thanks for your fast reply and my appologies for my late reply...

Thanks for explaining to me where the error comes from... I had a look at what exists for JPEG 2000 compression and didn't find any suitable, open source, library :( It would be interesting to integrate this functionnality to have a robust grib library in .NET.

I would be happy to help if a JPEG 2000 library comes up (even tough my coding capacity might not necessarly be enough for the task :/ ). I'll keep an eye open and if I find a possible solution I will get in touch again.

All the best and thanks again for your work 👍

Salutations :)

I found that the .NET Standard port of CS2JK seems like a good fit. It was not updated recently but it still does the job.
I have published a 0.6.0 version with this update and some fixes. Could you try it ?

Hi! I'm really sorry I'm only seeing your message now :( I'm not using my private account, so I don't receive any notifications...

It's very nice you found a solution! I'll try first thing in the morning and let you know how it went!

Thanks again and sorry for the delay...

Hi again !

Your fix worked great 👍 I've tested on AROME and now the temperature are decoded correctly!

Thanks a lot for the effort !
