The pqact.gempak_decoders pattern action has the -close flag, and so what ends up happening is 2 copies of dcgrib2 are running simultaneously and writing to the same output file (one decoding N0R andthe other decoding NET). The result is a corrupted grid file.You should be able to improve your plots by changing the -close flag in the pqact action to -flush as: # National radar composite generated by GDRADR for IDD FNEXRAD ^radar_mosaic_national PIPE -flush decoders/dcgrib2 -v 2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_radar.log -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables data/gempak/radar/YYYYMMDD_radr.gem Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: LRV-758035 Department: Support GEMPAK Priority: Low Status: Closed
