This gets around having to ever modify gbtbpds001.av1 >> for ECMWF model ID changes (yahoo!). I already did this on your system. The only things that were possibly left undone were: o reducing the size of your HRS spool file; 128 MB is almost 100% for sure overkill o changing how ETA grids are stored _IF_ you want to have each model run in a separate file The previous email had the instructions for the former; the following covers the latter: I changed how ETA grids are stored here at Unidata as an experiment. I am now storing each ETA model run (0, 6, 12, and 18 Z) in separate files. The RTMODELS.CFG entries that I am currently using are: # History: 20000403 - Changed ETA grid filing format (3 -> 1) in order to # file grids out to 60 hours (March 29, 2000 NWS change) # Moved start of NGM grids to 5501 # 20000415 - Moved NGM grids start to 5011; moved ETA grids start # to 5501; changed ETA filing to reflect runs at # 0, 6, 12, and 18 Z SCRATCH=5001 NGM= 3 5011 120000 240000 480000 MRF= 1 5101 120000 240000 960000 MAPS= 0 5201 30000 MDR= 2 5301 # RCM= 2 5311 AVN= 3 5401 120000 240000 720000 ETA= 1 5501 60000 240000 480000 You will note that I: o moved NGM grids to start at 5011 o moved ETA grids to start at 5501 o changed the interval between model runs for the ETA from 120000 to 60000 A listing of how my grids look after this change follows: grdlist.k RTGRIDS/ALL.ALL FORM=FILE DATASET NAME: RTGRIDS/ALL Dataset Position Creation Date Max Grids Directory Title ---------------- ------------- --------- ------------------------------- 7 2000107 5000 Misc.

In order to access the data stored in this new way, I also had to modify my RESOLV.SRV file (the one used by the remote ADDE server): N1=RTGRIDS,N2=ALL,TYPE=GRID,RT=Y,K=GRID,R1=5001,R2=6000,C=All XCD Real-Time Grids, N1=RTGRIDS,N2=ETA,TYPE=GRID,RT=Y,K=GRID,R1=5501,R2=5620,C=Real-Time ETA Grids, N1=RTGRIDS,N2=NGM,TYPE=GRID,RT=Y,K=GRID,R1=5011,R2=5050,C=Real-Time NGM Grids, If you choose to _not_ follow the above example, you need do nothing.
