20050627: 20050620: Precipitation in GEMPAK file

Belle,

The number of grid times is set by default to 1000. 
Each forecast hour for every model run time would be accounted for
in that 1000.

To build Linux with array sizes set for local data sets, you need
gcc/g77 and openmotif (which can be obtained as an RPM).
The locations for the X11 and Motif libraries is configurable at
build time through the $CONFIGDIR/Makeinc.linux.

>Thanks for the reply.  We have been (sort of) able to read the precipitation d
> ata sent to us in GEMPAK format by NCAR.  But, I believe the problem that we 
> are having might have to do with dimensioning in the binary LINUX version tha
> t we are using.  The precipitation files that were sent contain a month's wor
> th of precipitations data.  The 1st file that we are working with, contains d
> ata for 1-31 Jan 2001.  GDINFO, confirms this, as does Letitia Soulliard at N
> OAA.  However when we do a GDLIST, we can only get data through Jan 20.
>
>If we specify firstF006 - lastFoo6, we get data through Jan 20.
>If we specify 010130/0000F06 - we get data for Jan 31.
>If we specify 010119/0000F06 - lastF06, we jet Jan 19 - Jan 20
>If we specify 010119/0000F006 - 010131/1800F006, we still get Jan 19 - 20.
>
>So looks like if we use anything other than a single date after Jan 20, we can
> 't get the data.  Doing that would be a real pain.  I'm still thinking it mig
> ht be a dimension problem, so for Jan 2001, so have asked Ms. Soullianrd to s
> end the file in 2 pieces.  That is supposed to happen tomorrow.  She has said
>  that her version of GEMPAK had to be "beefed up".  We weren't able to compil
> e GEMPAK on our Linux system because things aren't located on our system wher
> e GEMPAK wants them to be.  So we are using the LINUX binary files.  
>
>If a test on the files on Tues indicates that it might be the file size, would
>  it be possible to obtain a Linux compiled version of the code with increased
>  dimensions?
