how to read grib variable: U-component_of_wind

[Augustin]

Hello,

I'm trying to read a GRIB2 file containing the variable name: U-component_of_wind 

u = ds.struct('U-component_of_wind', , [1 1 1 1], [1 1 190 384])

returns:

Invalid field name: 'U-component_of_wind'

which I imagine is due to the minus sign between 'U' and 'component'

any way around this issue?

Thanks,

A.

You could read it like this:

url = 'http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/dodsC/grib/NCEP/GFS/Global_0p5deg/files/GFS_Global_0p5deg_20130506_1200.grib2';
nc = ncgeodataset(url);
var = 'u-component_of_wind_altitude_above_msl';

u=nc{var}(1,1,:,:);
g=nc{var}(1,1,:,:).grid;

pcolorjw(g.lon,g.lat,u);
