I have checked some of the code in the DialogLoadGRIB, FileLoaderGRIB, Util, and they seem to suggest that it is connecting to a remote server (grbsrv.opengribs.org) with certain parameters.

We are working on to get data from NOAA in a C# .NET App it would be nice get it for a small area instead of Global or something which can be large amount of data.

Thank you.

Hi, NOMADS grib filter provides the possibility of downloading NOAA data for a subset both of variables and for a limited area rectangle. The main entry point for the grib filter is at https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/

There is also a guide on scripting the access https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/wesley/scripting_grib_filter.html I hope this helps

@norulz thank you, it is very helpful, I will look into it. Also, do you know anything about the license usage of NOAA/NOMADS data like for commercial applications, any approvals or need to inform them? Thank you.
