I believe that SFCLIST doesn't work for ship/buoy reports. You should revert to use of the general routine, PTLIST: PTLIST RTPTSRC/SHIPBUOY SELECT='IDA 4101; IDB 0' NUM=ALL PAR=DAY TIME IDA IDB T[F] TD[F] DIR SPD etc. You can refine your search to the day(s) you are interested in by specifying the DAY key in the SELECT= clause. For instance, if I was interested in all reports from that buoy for yesterday, DAY 1999258, I would specify: PTLIST RTPTSRC/SHIPBUOY SELECT='IDA 4101; IDB 0; DAY 1999258' NUM=ALL PAR=DAY TIME IDA IDB T[F] TD[F] DIR SPD The list of parameters you can print out can be discovered by doing a different kind of PTLIST: PTLIST RTPTSRC/SHIPBUOY Row : 1 Col : 49 DAY = 1999259 CYD | TIME = 0 HMS | CMAX = 737 | MOD = 0 | TYPE = SHIP | IDA = 4101 | IDB = 0 | HMS = 0 HMS | LAT = 28.9000 DEG | LON = 78.5000 DEG | CA = _missing_ | T = 298.76 K | TD = _missing_ | STI = 297.76 K | DIR = 240 DEG | SPD = 16.0 MPS | PSL = 1000.8 MB | VIS = _missing_ | WXP = _missing_ | SWP = _missing_ | SWH = _missing_ | PSD = _missing_ | PSP = 11.0 SEC | PSH = 6.2 M | PCP = _missing_ | PTIM = _missing_ | SP10 = _missing_ | SP20 = _missing_ | SPMX = _missing_ | LVLW = _missing_ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the keys listed are listable (e.g. T, TD, STI, DIR, SPD, etc.). >So, what are we missing? Nothing really. As far as I can tell, SFCLIST is setup for MD files with surface data schemas only. Tom
