Patrick, Looks like your $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults should have nowrad defined as: $(RADDIR)/nowrad and not $(RADDIR)/nowrad/US_2km/BREF. At thios point, I don't see any problem with the sat directory structure. You probably want to clean up your definition of G8 to be: G8 : "$(SATDIR)/GOES-8" Are your grids, surface and upperair data really under $GEMDATA/gempak? The normal assumption us that these directories are under $GEMDATA. Can you send the output of "lr -R" from $GEMDATA? Also, you disn't specifically menation what data sets weren't viewable, or all?! The ls output will show is the file names compare to the templates at the bottom of $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults. The default Garp_defaults expects 4 digit years. Looks like you have changed that. You probably want to change this back and use 4 digit years for your file names.
