Re: [ldm-users] GFS .5 degree resolution

Hi Paul, 

I can't answer your WXP question, but I am wondering if your GEMPAK file is 
using the default of a maximum of 5000 grids in the GEMPAK, and thus filling up 
by the time you are in forecast hour 42? (use gdinfo to see what the max. # of 
grids in the file is).  You can specify up to 29999 grids in a GEMPAK grid file 
by including the -n option on your dcgrib2 grib decoding entry in pqact.  If 
you are decoding every time step, you will likely fill reach that maximum of 
29999 by the time you get to 192 hours, so you may want to restrict what fields 
you want written to the GEMPAK file.

Regards,

Kevin

Subject: [ldm-users] GFS .5 degree resolution


I was hoping someone might be able to help me here. we are ingesting the gfs .5 
degree grid (gfs004) via conduit. As far as we can determine, the files are 
being saved correctly.

We are using WXP to display images but we cannot get WXP to read the 3 hour 
intervals, only the 6. Does anyone know if WXP *can* read them correctly?

Also, our gempak decoders are only giving us information to 42 hours rather 
than to 192 hours as they ought be. Are the new gempak decoder tables available?

Paul
