Bob,

    Here are instructions for a simple AWIPS fix to allow 40km 
    res RUC data to be viewed on the CONUS scale. Currently, only
    80km res RUC data can be viewed on CONUS (although 40km data
    starts to show up at the regional scale). 

Thanks for passing this on.

Stan

-----------------------------------------------------------------
To view RUC 40km grids on the CONUS scale do the following:

On any DS or WS machine:

  % cd $FXA_HOME/data/localization/nationalData

      edit the file gridSourceTable.template and look for the 
      RUC40 source. You'll see 3,4 in the 9th column. Change
      this to 2,3,4...(2 is the CONUS scale) If you want it on
      N.America then add 1 also.

     The nationalData directory is seen by all the machines (it's 
     not local) so it doesn't matter which machine you edit this
     file from.

WS display machine:

     On the WS machine that you are running D2D on, it's necessary 
     to run a localization. (If you have multiple WS machines,
     then this needs to be done on each one.) 

     %  cd $FXA_HOME/data/localization/scripts

     %  ./mainScript.csh -grids $FXA_LOCAL_SITE $FXA_LOCAL_SITE

The grids task is the only task that needs to be done...

restart D2D
