With this recent issues with the NAM212 grid, this reminds me to bring
up my attempts to initialize with NAM 218. CONDUIT has only the awip12
grids which are the surface-based fields. The NGRID feed has almost all
of the pressure fields and I was able to use both feeds to initialize
WRF. However, for some odd reason, there was something wrong with the
RH at 300mb and above as all values were 0. Has anyone been able to
initialize WRF with NAM 218 fields that are on CONDUIT/NGRID without
resorting to downloading from NCEP? Thanks
Mike
