Stan, My name is Robb Kambic, I work a Unidata/UCAR. We decode the ruc2 model into netCDF using the gribtonc program that I maintain. Currently, I'm trying to update the ruc2 model with the new variables that came out in Jan, but I noticed that your web pages about variables are mostly dated in 1997. Is there more current information or did I miss the current information somewhere? Also, I noticed some messages from our decoder gribtonc about fixed height above ground levels variables, did this change? Currently our decoder only have 2 heights, 2 and 10 meters. Is there more heights? Thanks for the info, Robb... ps Did anyone at FSL create a ruc2.cdl file for the ruc2 model? =============================================================================== Robb Kambic Unidata Program Center Software Engineer III Univ.
