Robert,

I'm assuming you are using the current GEMPAK distribution since you always are 
on top
of these releases. Larry Oolman at U. Wyoming did find a problem with UWND and
souther polar stereographic winds and his fix has been in the distribution since
5.8.1:

If you have some gribs, I'll look at this change and see if it is part of the 
problem or
something else.


I'd like to get these bugs checked out before putting 5.9.4 out on the web.
