[AWIPS #CWJ-540985]: grb2 decode question.

Hi Pete,

Sounds good - since AWIPS is very configurable, there are a few ways to do 
this. 

So it sounds like you created a new model entry in 

/awips2/edex/data/utility/common_static/base/grib/models/gribModels_NCEP-7.xml

And named it TIFF? So you can either keep it that way, and then yes you will 
have to make a configuration in CAVE for "TIFF" to show up in the volume 
browser 

Edit: 
/awips2/cave/etc/volumebrowser/VbSources/volume.xml
    <vbSource key="TIFF" category="Volume" />

Alternatively, you can change the model name in  your new entry in 
gribModels_NCEP-7.xml to "GFS" (which is what the existing GFS .25 model is 
called) and then it will already be there in the volume browser under "GFS".
