zyGrib

Ciao.
I installed on my ubuntu 12.04 the version 5.1.4 of zyGRIB.
It all works well (thanks to those who develop it) but I have problems with the file .grb that I download.
To me it would be useful forecasts of wind, temperature, pressure etc at high resolution and I should work them into a GIS software.
If I open the file .grb with Quantum GIS or GRASS GIS (and other) I get a strange thing (attach image).....The data is "stretched" along y.
Here is my post on the ML GRASS.

Someone can help me?

Thank you.

Hi,
Grib format is not a GIS format and cannot be open with GIS tools; it is a binary format for meteo data. The only way to visualise them is to use specific tools like zyGrib

Hi and thank you.
I'm no expert but I've seen that some .grb files are manageable in GIS (eg these http://www.sailingweatheronline.com/) and others do not.
Is there a way to get the same .grb file that I download via zygrib, which can however be used in GIS? I would like data with a high resolution (also 1 km).

thank you
