20000911: surface data files to the same size

Tom,

It sounds as if your oasurf.csh script is not sucessfully 
creating the grids for your contouring.

You can run GDINFO with gdfile=000911_surf.gem to see
what times are in your file. If you aren't adding new
grids for the surface fields, then there are several possibilities:

1) You cron isn't running...check your "crontab -l" output for the entry
to make sure it is run every hour probably.

2) The script is failing. Its possible that the script uses a shell or
system command that gives different output on Linux than for Solaris.

3) The GEMPAK routines aren't getting the correct configuration to run.

You probably need to run the script by hand with some debug statements to find
out if it is the script that is failing at some point, or see what the
output from the GEMPAK programs is.

If you need me to log in to your Linux box with a temporary password, let me
know the relevant information regarding what crontab script is running to
create the grids etc.
