Subject: problem with ua2nc


Robb-

Steve found a problem with ua2nc (at least the version that is running
on zero).  In the mandatory pressure data (TTAA), the heights
are sometimes off by a factor of 10.  Below is output from
ncdump of 99072806_perl_ua.nc from the htman section:

  419, 162, 822, 1534, 3132, 5780, 7430, 9470, 10690, 12130, 14020, 16620, 
    18890, 21040, 24350, 27010, _, _, _, _, _, _,

    18980, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,

note that for the 2nd station, that the 250 mb height (9th value) is
1000.  This should be 10000.  Here are the reports for the 4 stations
which have erroneous levels listed:

Please look into this when you get a chance.
