[gradsusr] gradsusr Digest, Vol 118, Issue 1

[Zilore Mumba]

Thank you Jennifer,
My question was really to find out:
1. Why I have to multiply by 10 to have temperature,dew point and pressure.
I have used this for years and I do not remember multiplying by 10.
2. Why visibility and present weather, visibility and clouds are not
plotted.
Am I right to suspect that the gfortran compile is not good enough for this?
