Hello,

Sounds like you've got a good start. Yes, you will need the grid projection 
file (in /awips2/edex/data/utility/common_static/base/grib/grids/) and the 
model definition entry in the NCEP xml file. 

Have you restarted EDEX after making your changes?

If you don't mind sending over one of your grib2 files (your grid projection 
file and model definition entry) I can take a look and double check what the 
entries should look like.


Thanks,
