Bill, Would you happen to have a table for center 58 sub-center 42 version 2? It would of been around time period 19970101. Thanks, RObb... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:30:51 -0700 From: "Anderson, William W CIV 63134" <address@hidden> To: Robb Kambic <address@hidden> Subject: RE: Grib parameter tables Robb: (I thought I had sent a reply but I don't see it in my sent items). I'll have to check with the keeper of the tables; she's out today. Finding an appropriate version for your set of products for an earlier time period may be problematic. I assume that you're receiving our grib products with the filename that starts with US058. In that productname, there is a date starting at character 34 and the parameter name starting at character 66 or 67. If you have the date range and the parameters of interest, then I can look for the table that covers the time period(s) of interest. -Bill -----Original Message----- From: Robb Kambic [mailto:address@hidden] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 1:17 PM To: Anderson, William W CIV 63134 Subject: RE: Grib parameter tables Hi Bill, Thanks for the new FNMOC version 3 table. The new table was helpful. By any chance do you hava a copy of FNMOC table version 2 for decoding older data? Thanks, RObb... On Wed, 6 Oct 2010, Anderson, William W CIV 63134 wrote:
Mike: We have several versions of the parameter table. I might have previously provided you with the version with the legacy parm assignments. I thought the table that I sent was the final word. So, I've attached the current version that CAGIPS uses. This has only three numbered parms with duplicates numbers (33, 34, 134); they have something like '_mn_trnc18' appended. Those can be removed from the table if those special cases are not being subscribed. As far as the problem that Robb Kambic referenced, the only 0001 parm that applies is 'pres'. The others are invalid and, in fact, are no longer used, except for the lift_cdns_lvl which is actually assigned to 246. The attached file should straighten things out. Let me know if there are any problems or more questions. -Bill ____________________________________________________________________________ From: Frost, Mr. Michael Sent: Tue 10/5/2010 12:55 PM To: Robb Kambic Cc: Anderson, William W CIV 63134 Subject: RE: Grib parameter tables Hi Rob: I am cc: ing FNMOC on this.

The FNMOC data has center 58 sub-center 0 and version 3 for all the data, so how could one distinguish which one to use? Thanks, Robb... On Fri, 10 Sep 2010, Frost, Mr. Michael wrote:Thanks Robb!
