Hi Tom,
I'm using the file in the ARPS model, and it expects the AREA file to
have GVAR navigation.
When I run a.getNavigation() on the GINIEAST images, they show
navigation as being TANC, and the files fail in ARPS. However, the
images in the RTIMAGES stream show a.getNavigation() as being GVAR,
and these files work. Would it be possible to get the GINIEAST images
into the same navigation / etc (not real familiar with satellite file
terminology) as the files in the RTIMAGES stream?
Best Regards,
Robert Dewey
