Parameters numbered from 0-127 will be defined in the wmogrib3.tbl. But, the log will continue to mention that the table is not found. At the very least you can create the file wioth the parameter 255 (MISS) line which is found in the other center tables (like the cmc). If your data does have jma specifc parameters, then you have to obtain the table version 3 definitions of these parameters from the jma or where you are obtaining the data from, and create the parameter values for the table. At this point in time, we do not have access to any of the JMA data, so I don't have predefined tables for them Steve Chiswell
