[GEMPAK #KWT-242614]: NMAP2 capabilities?

["Unidata GEMPAK Support" <support-gempak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

I've attached a few files that should help you get this going.

the first two are nmap restore files called 700mb_rh and 850mb and should be 
placed in $NMAP_RESTORE/stnd/

the second is an updated mod_res.tbl and should be placed in $GEMTBL/nmap/

with these files you should be able to load 700mb and 850mb relative humidity 
in NMAP for the ECMWFG model

the design of the relative humidity field was taken from a similar restore file 
and includes a combination of color-filled and regular contours, which you are 
free to change and customize by editing the two restore files (and can be 
combined with other restore files if you want a more complex design).

let me know if you have any troubles.

best,

michael james
