Hi Chris, I suspect you have the non-WES version of the case. COMET and the Unidata Program Center collaborated on this library and COMET offfered the WES/DRT versions of the cases and we distributed the GEMPAK versions, which from your description seems to be what you have. If desirous of WES/DRT cases please contact: name: rozumalski, robert (Bob) email: address@hidden homepage: http://strc.comet.ucar.edu;2 phone: 303-497-8356 Please feel free to contact me re the case you have if you choose to use the data in a GEMPAK (or other non-AWIPS environment).
