Hi Michael:
Just to followup, I was able to get things to work based on Josh's
suggestion. Once I converted awip32-fixed to .gem format, I ran GDMOD to
append awip32-fixed.gem to my existing NARR files. From there, I ran GDVINT
(script snippet follows):
...
gdvint << GDVINT_EOF
GDFILE = ${copyFile}
GDOUTF = ${copyFile}
GDATTIM = f00
GLEVEL = 500-10000-500
GVCORD = pres/zagl
MAXGRD = 999
GAREA = GRID
VCOORD = pres;none
run
exit
GDVINT_EOF
...
>From the initial results I have, it appears everything is properly
interpolated to ZAGL coordinates. Appreciate all the input!
Regards,
Pete
