20001201: Configuration of nmap

Glenn,

You have a couple of options for how you deal with nmap and
your eta212 and eta215 grids.

Currently, I use the keys eta, eta212 and eta215 in the mod_res.tbl
file. Each of these have their template defined in the 
$GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl
file, defaults I provide are:

ETA     YYYYMMDDHH_eta211.gem
ETA212  YYYYMMDDHH_eta212.gem
ETA215  YYYYMMDDHH_eta215.gem

If you want the eta212 and eta215 keys to be used with the mod_res.tbl actions
that currently only have eta, then you can just add the additional keys to the 
list, eg:

50mb_HGHT_WIND  $NMAP_RESTORE/stnd/50mb_hght_wind  1.standard     
avn;eta;eta212;eta215
this is pretty easy in "vi" for example using the global search.

Or, if you don't deal with the eta211 grids at all, and would prefer that
the key "eta" meant the 212 grid, then you could change that in the template
file, eg:
ETA     YYYYMMDDHH_eta212.gem


As for the pqact.conf entry and your missing the 30-60 hour grids,
the default maximum number of grids in a grid file from dcgrib is 1500.
There are more than 1500 eta212 and 211 grids, so you need to add the
"-m numgrids" flag to your pqact.conf entry, where numgrids is
large enough to store the complete model run.
