Glenn,

I looked at your file. It has 1 grid:
 Number of grids in file:     1

 Maximum number of grids in file:   1500

  NUM       TIME1              TIME2           LEVL1 LEVL2  VCORD PARM
    1     010401/0000F001                        550         PRES HGHT


I pulled this up in Garp (Using the RUC II model type which
I have defined in the $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults file as ruc236).

I set the pressure level to 550 and the gfunc to hght and produced
a plot. Everything looks fine. Eg, this is not what
I would call surface rucs.


Did you expect other than 1 grid in the file?

Also, I created the gribkey.tbl file for dcgrib2 so that you
would not have to worry about WMO header changes etc such
as the KWBC vs KWBG, or all the different models.

I just pipe the entire grid data stream to dcgrib2 and let it
assign the file names for all the different data sets it finds,
eg:
# Global GRIB decoding action. 
# Products stored maintained in $GEMTBL/grid/gribkey.tbl
HDS|NMC2|NOGAPS ^(/u/ftp/gateway|[HOYZ]|US058).*
        PIPE    decoders/dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib.log
        -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables

By not giving a file name output, dcgrib2 will use the path and names
given in gribkey.tbl.

Otherwise, you should be able to display the data in the file you just sent
me if your model keys have ruc236 for the associated model button.
