Evan and Chris, Thanks for the responses,I checked our conversion script and we are using dcgrib2 to make the gempak files. Strangely I ran the GDINFO and the SWEM data appears to be there now. We recently upgraded the WRF, so maybe the problem was fixed in the upgrade. I know the SWEM data was not there when I attempted to make some snow graphics a month ago, so the problem may have resolved itself. I'll give it another try the next few days and see if I can get things to work.
Thanks again! Jeremy Martin WFO GLD Evan Lowery wrote:
Hi Jeremy, When running GDINFO, do you have similar settings: GDFILE = gfs_file.grd LSTALL = YES OUTPUT = T GDATTIM = all GLEVEL = all GVCORD = all GFUNC = all Sometimes if you only limit to a certain level/cord/func you may be missing the variables you're looking for. In GFS files, categorical snow [0,1] is "WXTS" and surface accumulated snowfall [kg/m^2] is "SWEM". I imagine they are similar in WRF grid files. 255 090924/0000F006 0 NONE SWEM 262 090924/0000F006 0 NONE WXTS06 Regards, Evan Lowery Business Applications Meteorologist Weather Trends International, Inc.

We are gonfigured to output this field in GRIB format, and looking at the data in IDV confirms that this field is being created. When I run a GDINFO on the gempak grid there is no snowfall data listed. I am fairly new to using GEMPAK, Is there something I have to configure so this data is converted into GEMPAK format? Thanks!
