gdalinfo -stats reports units as Kelvin but displays min/max/avg values in °C

[shadock]

when calling gdalinfo on a GRIB file with temperatures, gdalinfo -stats reports units as Kelvin but displays min/max/avg values in °C.

It should either report temperatures values in Kelvin either report Temperature unit as °C.

When converting with gdal_translate to an AAIGrid format file, values are in °C. In the original file, values are clearly Kelvin.

Can you supply and some evidence to indicate that the original data is in Kelvin?

I assume this is an issue with the degrib library doing units transformation, but it might also be a specific metadata issue with a file or something. I can't event think of investigating till I have more detail.

I'm still waiting on detail to pursue this further...
