[Support #III-639429]: SRFCCON to the limit?



Hi Tyn,

re:

I am doing well, thank you!

> DIST=20 BPA=50 PRO=CONF

I verified this result on my home development machine.  It looks like this
bug also affects SFCPLOT.

You will be forced to specify the time you want since there is no syntax
for the previous hour (i.e., <hour>-1 will not work).

Hmm... This is unexpected.

I just ran the following SFCCON invocations (it is currently 16 UTC):

ERASE
MAP CHINA
SFCCON T SAT 15 DAT=RTPTSRC/SYNOPTIC LLINC=0.1 0.11 DIST=20 BPA=50

ERASE
MAP CHINA
SFCCON T SAT 15 DAT=RTPTSRC/SFCHOURLY RTPTSRC/SYNOPTIC RTPTSRC/SHIPBUOY 
LLINC=0.1 0.11 DIST=20 BPA=50

Both worked, but the contour lines get abbreviated since there are lots of
data sparse regions.  I have attached a GIF of the second run.

I will be looking into why specifying 'CHINA' as a MAP name is not working.

Cheers,

Tom
