20010120: radar_national_mosaic?

Niel,

The radar mosaic is in grib format. So, you can decode it
with dcgrib2 as Pete mentioned. And, display the grid
with gdplot2 just as you would decoded model data.

Your previous message showed you were trying to display it
as an image, which is what the RADFIL and SATFIL parameters
in display programs are for. Instead, just use the decoded gempak
grid file in any program as GDFILE. The paramter (GFUNC)
will be N0R on GLEVEL=0, and GVCORD=NONE.
