Greg,

After playing around with it, the "anim" in macros is a little tricky. It seems like it really needs very explict PCGRIDDS commands to work. Here is a macro I got to work with ETA every 6 hours, maybe you can hack it and make macros that work for you.

Greg,

Thanks for the help, a very simple fix and it works great!

Among the data I usually get AVN Sfc GRIB files from ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov for every three hours through 120 hrs. They are small file (~36k) and are good for looking at sfc wind and precip. There is a file type on weather.noaa.gov ftp ...

Jeff,
When I try to NGRB2PCG32 the grib files for the GFDL, I get

****ERROR UNKNOWN MODEL TYPE # 70 in the output.

Is there a modification I need to make to MAPTYPE.DAT or one of the other files?

Thanks in advance,

Craig
