Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Thanks! ----- Original Message ----- cc: ldm-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, gembud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi Robert, The RUC2 uses a "hybrid isentropic-sigma" veritcal coordinate system, with 40 levels. Documentation can be found at http://maps.fsl.noaa.gov. One of the links will take you to a RUC Techincal Procedures Bulletin pdf file, which explains the system in more detail. --Kevin ______________________________________________________________________ Kevin Tyle, Systems Administrator ********************** Dept. of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences ktyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx University at Albany, ES-235 518-442-4571 (voice) 1400 Washington Avenue 518-442-5825 (fax) Albany, NY 12222 ********************** ______________________________________________________________________ On Sun, 14 Apr 2002, Robert Mullenax wrote: > I downloaded one of the RUC2 grids from ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov > and passed it through dcgrib.
