Howdy,

I have been banging my head on what should be a simple problem. I am
playing with the TIGGE datasets, and am having a problem mapping the min
and max temps. Unfortunately both max and min get recognized as PD# 011 as
mapped in the g2var tables
/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gempak/tables/grid/g2varswmo5.tbl :

!D# CT# ID# PD# NAME                             UNITS                GNAM
        SCALE   MISSING
000 000 000 111 Maximum Temperature              K                    TMXK
            0  -9999.00

Is there some way to get gempak to distinguish the differences between the
"int tstat;  Section 4 type of statistical processing" which distinguishes
the max temp from the min temp fields?

Thanks for you help,
