Hi Robb- I have modified gribtonc to sort of degrib the variable water vapor mixing ratio. I modified params.c and params.h by sticking in the code 185 and associating it with the variable wvmixr.
Missy,That's what I started to do before I found out about the conflict of 185. The only suggestion I have is to use the brute force method, that is get a
raw grib file including param 185 and use a debugger on gribtonc. My feeling gribtonc is trying to process 185 according to the NWS manner instead of the FSL manner. I'm not the originator of gribtonc and I have not added/changed params before, so I would have to research this. I'll look at the code today to see if there is something else. Also, as a guide line I would look at how the other hybrid ruc2 variables are processed. Have you changed the cdl wvmixr variable to match your modified gribtonc? Just some thoughts, Robb...
As before, it degribs correctly starting at the 29th level, but prior to that, gives "oversize grib product". Also, gribdump will no longer produce any output, whereas before the modification, it did. Any suggestions?
