[Qgis-user] Using GRIB2 in QGIS

Hello,

I am trying to use the Real Time Ocean Forecasting System
(http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/ofs/download.shtml?) archival data which
is in the GRIB2 format using a hybrid model-based coordinate system.
The data can be downloaded from here:
http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/opendap/ncep/rtofs/contents.html

Has anyone had any experience using GRIB2 in QGIS?  If so, please let
me know how it worked out.  In particular, I need to get forecast data
into a format where I can overlay a shapefile, but the wqgrib2 program
won't work because hybrid coordinate system.

Thanks,
Ezra
