Degrib: Download

Please remember to Register

Full Package (MS-Windows).  This consists of the source code and the compiled MS-Windows executables for degrib.  In addition it has the NDFD image generation programs (ImageGen) to create static maps.

  • degrib-install.exe (Version 1.97c : 15,734,916 bytes : 5/22/2012) (was "ndfd-demo.exe") (md5sum=debcb1ae2bd6e8a6cd9e8af552d74886)
    This install program creates short cuts, so please run it with the appropriate permisions.
    Note: It has been reported that in some browsers, the "degrib-install.exe" link stops at about 178k.  Please verify that you get the full 15,734,916 bytes.
  • degrib-all.exe (Version 1.97c : 16,245,760 bytes : 5/22/2012) (md5sum=9950d5368a306e62babec70d2fe27d4e)
  • This does not create short cuts (for those with permissions issues).

Source Code Package.  This consists of source code for degrib.

  • degrib-src.tar.gz (Version 1.97c : 6,236,730 bytes : 5/22/2012) (md5sum=08e680df7af4c1e458fb50d810c996b9)
  • degrib-src.tar (Version 1.97c : 64,235,520 bytes : 5/22/2012) (md5sum=59054ac6dc711c5e5ee283784f286b83)
  • Note: The tar balls were created using "gnu-tar".  I have found that "aix-tar" does not always play nice with them.

Executable Package (MS-Windows).  This consists of the compiled MS-Windows executables for degrib.

  • degrib-bin.exe (Version 1.97c : 7,288,320 bytes : 5/22/2012) (md5sum=0631f8b6ad1f25327a40a89da69e1c72)

Note: There are 3 flavors of degrib included in all downloads:

  1. degrib, the command line version;
  2. tcldegrib, a version which interfaces with Tcl, and allows one to create command line scripts for automating downloads;
  3. tkdegrib, the GUI version of degrib, which uses Tcl/Tk to make it cross-platform capable.
