Re: [ldm-users] UKMET grid issue

Hi Brendon,

We're still using GEMPAK6.10, but no problems with decoding have been noticed(looking at log files). I have noticed the file sizes for the ukmet.gem files are smaller than they use to be(less than half). The data files go out to hour 36 instead of 72 hours now.

Hello,

We've noticed an issue with reception of UKMET grids, it looks like surface grids have stopped coming in. Has anyone else noticed this? One clue is our GEMPAK decoder logs:

Perhaps a table was recently changed? I just upgraded to the latest version of Gempak 7, so my tables "should" be up to date. Seeing similar behavior in WXP, so my prime suspect is a change by the UKMET office. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brendon
