wgrib2: -set_ieee

Introduction

The -set_ieee option sets 4 octets to a single precision IEEE floating point value. The IEEE floating point standard is often used grib2.

-set_ieee I J X
  I = Section = 1..7
  J = 1..(section length-3)
  X = single precision floating point number

Multiple floats can be set by making the third argument a colon seperated list.

Usage

-set_int  SECTION STARTING_OCTET_LOCATION I-1:I-2:..:I-N
SECTION=0 .. 7
OCTET_LOCATION = 1..N
I-M = Mth floating point number
