Subject: COMET case #37: Tropical Storm Allison data Organization: UW/SSEC Hi Sarah, Yes it is quite confusing the way CODIAC "uniqely names" files... Fortunatley, dcgrib2 is smart enough to figure them out. I would suggest "cat" ing the files and passing them through dcgrib2. i.e. for an eta 211 grid: cat us008_gf084_01091000_YxQCx | dcgrib2 -v 1 YYYYMMDDHH_eta211.gem They should then have the proper naming convention for GEMPAK use. Thank you, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Mon, 6 May 2002, Unidata Support wrote: > > ------- Forwarded Message > > >To: address@hidden > >From: Sarah Finn <address@hidden> > >Subject: COMET case #37: Tropical Storm Allison data > >Organization: UW/SSEC > >Keywords: 200205061450.g46EoAa14085 COMET Case #37 > > Hello, > I am trying to get gempak format eta model data for this case.
