<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello GraDS community.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Meteorological Service of Canada is running in parallele its next generation of its regional deterministic model. The new model runs on a 10km grid and will eventually replace the operational 15km model</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As part of our tests we produce grib2 files of its data. We want to make sure users will be able to process grib2 data in packages like GrADS</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have found that parameters of the type TMPprs 850 display well on the full grid and on a portion of the grid </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However, the UGRDprs 850 parameter does not appear to display correctly. (here am only using UGRDprs but applies to VGRDprs also)</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I placed my data and images displaying the problem in directory at: </FONT><A HREF="http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmoi/grads/regional10km/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmoi/grads/regional10km/</FONT></U></A></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The images there show how data displays in grads on full and portions of the grid</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If you wish to test data or reproduce the images</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Go to : </FONT><A HREF="http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmoi/grads/regional10km/"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmoi/grads/regional10km/</FONT></U></A>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Copy the grib2 ctl idx reg_test (and possibly cbarn.gs) to your account</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Start grads</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- run the commands in the file reg_test</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Images of full grid and portion of grid will be made</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Am looking for advice to understand why UGRDprs 850 does not display properly in GrADS</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance</FONT>
