Because of >the file system filling up, he's having a hard time tracking down the problem >on our end. OK, I understand. >It sounds like the "thinned grids" in Robert's GEMPAK directory are working >correctly. Right. >Do you know if he gets those grids from the NOAAPORT feed, or >from some other source? He is getting them from the Unidata IDD. You will recall that the origin of the data in the IDD is a McIDAS NOAAPORT box. >We're just trying to figure out if this is a >NOAAPORT problem or if it is a problem with -XCD. Hmm... Since GEMPAK got the same grids and decoded them correctly, it struck me that the problem must lie somewhere in the XCD decoders. This is why I passed the message along to you guys in the first place. >More AVN grids are >included in the 12Z AVN run today, so hopefully it was just a problem with >NOAAPORT. I hope so as well. >I've put this into inquiry #10597 and closed the inquiry as an anomoly. If >we find that it is an -XCD problem, then I'll re-open the inquiry. OK.
