Hi Robert, First off, we noticed that you are running IDV version 2.6. If possible, please update to version 2.9. Second, in the IDV v2.9, we see these 2 variables: "Precipitable_water" "Pseudo-adiabatic_potential_temperature". Analysis of the grib file in questions shows that this is correct, and as far as I can tell there are no problems in the IDV. Many Thanks. -Julien > Grib2 file attached. > > Unidata IDV Support wrote: > > Hi, Robert > > > > Would it be possible for you to send the actual grib2 file in question > > (20100813.14z.ECONA.grib2)? > > > > Thanks. > > > > -Julien > > > > > >> Full Name: Robert Aune > >> Email Address: address@hidden > >> Organization: NOAA/NESDIS > >> Package Version: 2.6u2 build date:2009-02-13 19:03 UTC > >> Operating System: Windows XP > >> Hardware: Java: home: C:\Program Files\IDV_2.6u2\jre version: 1.6.0_11 > >> j3d:1.5.2 fcs (build4) > >> Description of problem: IDV shows only one of the PWAT fields in the Field > >> Selector.
