Robb, Thanks for the info. The gribtonc doesn't seem to be working for me though? I copied the "AVN model on Lambert conformal CONUS grid" entry from your pqact.conf and put it into mine and it's not working? I had to modify the entry slightly by putting in my specific paths: (1) for the decoder (/home/ldm/decoders/gribtonc) (2) for the cdl (/home/ldm/etc/avn-q.cdl) (3) for the data (/data/pub/decoded/netcdf/GRIB) but it still should work I would think? The /data/pub/decoded/netcdf/GRIB directory got created, but there are no data in it?
Brian,
A couple of things, in the pqact entries the white spaces are tabs, not
spaces. The only place white space is a "space" in the pattern
specification. You can check your pqact using the ldmadmin command, ie
% ldmadmin pqactcheck
It's not fool proof, it sometimes lets errors through.
The second is to run gribtonc on the command line as user LDM and all the
paths. ie
% /home/ldm/decoders/gribtonc -l - /home/ldm/etc/avn-q.cdl avn-q.nc < rawdata
Where the raw data file was created using the FILE action, ie
HRS ^Y.Q... KWB. (..)(..).*(/mAVN|/mSSIAVN)
FILE data/rawfile/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1\2_avn-q.wmo
Just filing the data doesn't seem to be a problem because I added your "Ensemble members" entry into my pqact.conf and I am seeing *ENS.wmo files filing into my /data/pub/raw/hrs/model/ensemble directory? By the way, does a cdl exist for the Ensemble data?
Not yet I would think so since I believe the
Ensemble data are flowing into AWIPS now?
The ensemble data doesn't fit well into the current gribtonc configuration because the members overlay the same projection points. This causes the member data to overwritten with the new member data.

Brian, There no user's guide per se but there's README.perlDecoders and I'll send examples of the ldm pqact.conf entries as a attachment.

Either copy them to the ldm man directory or add that directory to the MANPATH environment variable. Also you can go to the man directory and do command line nroff, ie % nroff -man gribtonc.1 | more > (3) Where should I put the *.cdl files? The cdls are usually placed in the ~ldm/etc directory. The decoders binaries are usually located in a ~ldm/decoders directory also.
