<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear wrfhelp/wrf-users:<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to run WRF-ARW using GRIB2 NAM data from NCEP. An example file is:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/nam/prod/nam.20070919/nam.t12z.awphys12.grb2.tm00">ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/nam/prod/nam.20070919/nam.t12z.awphys12.grb2.tm00</A><BR>
<BR>
I believe these files contain all the first-guess data necessary to run the model.<BR>
However, ungrib.exe is failing to extract SKINTEMP, which is causing metgrid.exe<BR>
to fail. I am tinkering with a VTABLE file based on VTABLE.NAM, but I have not<BR>
yet found a solution. Has anyone successfully processed these files with WPS?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
