Jon,

Double check your ATE station entry to make sure
you haven't used tabs in the columns. A look at the
SLAT;SLON;SELV might give a tip as to where the

Dear Gembud,

I'm tring to extract NWP point forecasts into a surface file in the

following manner:

(1) Created a sub-set list of the sfstns.tbl file, adding a new

station to the list (which I called "ATE" for now).
(2) Created new surface file with sfcfil.
(3) Run gdgsfc to extract the surface parameters to the stations in

the surface file created in (2). (4) Examine extracted data using sflist. The problem I've encountered is with the new station "ATE". Even

though I defined the lat/lon and rest of its station data correctly in
the sub-setted .tbl file, the data are not getting corrected extracted
to the station.  In fact, sflist shows the slat and slon as completely
incorrect, not at all reflecting the values I put into the station

table file used in sfcfil. So, what can I do to get the new station data recognized within the

surface file?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
