Hi all. . . I'm having a bit of a problem successfully viewing global reanalysis data (NNRP) using nmap2. I believe the problem is that I'm not correctly handling the fact that the data is a series of analyses (f000), rather than forecasts. Here's what I'm doing. First, I'm subsetting the original pgb grib files using wgrib, so I'm creating grib files with just the variables I want to convert. Then I use dcgrib2 to convert these into monthly gempak files with the fields I want. It appears to me that the time tags are getting entered correctly - at least when I use something like gdinfo. But nothing I do is letting me visualize the data in nmap2. Here's an example of the output from gdinfo for PMSL, from a file containing data for January 2009: NUM TIME1 TIME2 LEVL1 LEVL2 VCORD PARM 28 090101/0000F000 0 NONE PMSL 60 090101/0600F000 0 NONE PMSL 92 090101/1200F000 0 NONE PMSL 124 090101/1800F000 0 NONE PMSL 156 090102/0000F000 0 NONE PMSL 188 090102/0600F000 0 NONE PMSL 220 090102/1200F000 0 NONE PMSL 252 090102/1800F000 0 NONE PMSL 284 090103/0000F000 0 NONE PMSL 316 090103/0600F000 0 NONE PMSL 348 090103/1200F000 0 NONE PMSL 380 090103/1800F000 0 NONE PMSL 412 090104/0000F000 0 NONE PMSL 444 090104/0600F000 0 NONE PMSL 476 090104/1200F000 0 NONE PMSL 508 090104/1800F000 0 NONE PMSL (etc etc) We're editing the table files for nmap2, and what is currently happening is that _all_ of the times show up in the "Data Source" dialog window, as if they were separate "forecasts" in separate gem files. But if I select any of them, I can't get any of them to display - and in reality there is only a single gem file that contains all those times. And I can successfully plot the data using gdcntr/gdplot/etc. I'm thinking maybe what I should do is somehow convince nmap2 that each month is a single "forecast" (even though they are really all analyses), with the first time being labeled as f000, 6 hours later as f006, 12 hours later as f012, etc, etc. But I don't know how to go about doing that - or even if that is the best approach. Is there any utility that will let me change the time tags in a gem file? Any thoughts?
