Kevin, The ETA 212 grids contain LAND/SEA mask which in the grid file is LAND on a coordinate of NONE and level of 0. For example: GFUNC = mask(sltk,sgt(land@0%none,0)) Gempak also provides 2 grid functions (see phelp gfunc) LAND and SEA for masks of land and sea so you can do GFUNC=mask(sltk,land) even if you don't have those grids in your data set. Of course, you may prefer to use the 1/0 mask that is provided with your original data. The GEMPAK functions will generate a landsea grid from $GEMTBL/grid/landsea.tbl to match the grid in the calculation.
