Subject: Degrib 1.20
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 18:53:45 -0400 From: "Arthur.Taylor" Organization: DOC/NOAA/NWS - National Weather Service To: Arthur Taylor Hi You all have the unique distinction of being registered on my degrib (aka NDFD_GRIB2Decoder) mailing list (all 77 of us (but I think I counted joshwatson twice) (I'd like to welcome: adam.stevens, dchan, John.DeLorenzo, joshwatson, saleh_200, rajushukla, ral, bernard.grant, mikeandanndeason, katie_mcconnell, michael.vescio, jonathan.blaes, paul.flatt, and kevin.conaty) Please let me know (email me) if you want to unregister. ----------- I just wanted to let you all know that I have just finished putting together version "1.20" (last one that I announced was "1.18" on 6/6/2003). The latest version of the program is on: www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/NDFD_GRIB2Decoder/ First, some news... 1) As some of you may have noticed, we started getting a BUNCH-O-DATA on Fri. I think it was officially announced (wherever that is done) that all the variables will be available for a) all the CONUS sectors, b) the entire CONUS, and c) PR. Currently all variables means : MaxT, MinT, PoP12, Temp, WindDir, WindSpd, Td, Sky, QPF, SnowAmount, Wx, and WaveHeight. (Note: I can not find "SnowAmount" for PR.) In order to take advantage of this, you either need to download the most recent Degrib code which already has all variables and sectors enabled by default, or you will have to go to "File->configure", and then Highlight the variables that you want to make active, and press the "Activate" button. Then you will have to go to the Sectors Tab, Highlight the Sectors that you want to make active, and again press the "Activate" button. Of importance to PC users: Note 1: ImageGen & htmlmaker do not handle PR yet. Note 2: ImageGen handles Wx, but doesn't handle it as well as NDFD would like. Note 3: Htmlmaker does not create a field in its html table for WaveHeight. The images are created by imageGen, they just are not readily browseable. ----------- Other things new to "degrib"... 2) Found a bug with the "http" download option. It was hindering its ability to update the user, and giving a stack trace. It should work now... 3) Updated .ini file to handle all the new variables and regions, and started checking that the program is handling the new data correctly. ----------- As always, I tested this release on my PC (win 2000), a Linux machine, a HP-Unix machine, and an AIX-Unix (machine). Although I may have missed something in my testing, it should at least compile, and run for some of the test cases. For those of you with access to the NWS NCEP machine, my current version is in: /nfsuser/g06/we25at/degrib (on snow/frost, I'm no longer using asp/bsp). For those with access to MDL's GDP or NHDW machines, see: ~taylor/degrib/ Please let me know if you have problems. ----------- Regards, Arthur
