Michael, Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. The 122W is a typo in 2 of the tables and should be 112. It is correct in the other GEMPAK tables. I have updated the others. However, there is still a matter of a discrepancy of the latitude. The AWIPS table lists S14 as: 0000000000|KS14 | 44.30 |-112.10 | 1794|SPENCER, ID |US|MTR The US city location index for Spencer also puts the the city at that latitude. Your location of 42Nmay not be correct. Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support On Tue, 30 Apr 2002, Michael E.
