WINGRIDDS v5.
7 03/31/2017
This is to announce a new WINGRIDDS v5.7. This release contains some bug fixes to
WINGRIDDS, OBS2PCG, GETGRIB as well as some GRIB/OBS download script
changes.
The changes to WINGRIDDS are as follows:
1) Users were reporting that Polar Stereographic grids created in the Custom Maps
Selection for the Southern hemisphere were not filling the full display area & were
compressed into the lower left corner a certain zoom factors. I went through & cleaned
the math up & added adjustments so the regardless of latitude coverage, the data for that
projection should fill the screen. I checked this for the Northern Hemisphere as well.
The changes to OBS2PCG are as follows:
1) Well, it wasn’t working… attempting to process Surface, Upper Air or both would
cause it to crash. Works now!! No sure how that made it out but apologies for any
problems.
The changes to GETGRIB are as follows:
1) Small cosmetic changes so program statements write to the GETGRIB.LOG file & not
some random file ID.
Download Script changes are as follows:
1)Bruce Becker found there had been changes to file location at the CMC (Canadian
Meteorological Centre) for their national model & he passed along the updated files
(THANKS!). In troubleshooting the OBS2PCG issue, I found the date-time-group
assigned to the Upper Air data from COD (College of Dupage) was encoding wrong.
Those have been fixed.
I hope everyone is finding the latest WINGRIDDS useful and enjoyable. Remember, if
you find any errors, please be complete in your description of the problem & what you
did to cause it to happen. Remember to include a copy of the debug files
WINGRIDDS.LOG, OBS2PCG.OUT, NGRB2PCG32.OUT or GRIB2PCG32.OUT
files…whichever applies to the situation. ENJOY!!!!
Thanks in advance & enjoy!

WINGRIDDS.
1) The Vertical/Tangential diagnostic calculation (ACRC, GCRC, WCRC, etc.) on

CROSS/TIME displays are sensitive to vertical velocity values. The main GRIB
parameters that provide vertical motion values are VVEL & OMEGA and the ACRC-type
diagnostics were correct for VVEL parameters but not for OMEGA parameters. It was
found the OMEGA values were and order of magnitude larger than the equivalent VVEL
values. Now, when the OMEGA parameter is found during a calculation, it is multiplied
by .01 to make it consistent with VVEL & internal calculated OMEGA.
files…whichever applies to the situation. Happy New Years!!

WINGRIDDS.
1) The setup process for Custom Grids has been GREATLY improved and is now much
simpler. The math calculations have been improved so the final step of ‘aligning’ the map
background to the data grid has been eliminated. The WINGRIDDS Users Guide has
been updated to reflect this change.
2) The ‘LIST’ command from the command line has been restored as well as the listing
of the contents of the opened data file.
3) The NAM GRIB download script listing in the file REGGDLL.005 has been modified
from reading: “NAM GRID 215 20KM 0-84” to reading: “NAM GRID 215 (SURFACE)
20KM 0-84”. To avoid confusion when downloading that data set & not seeing any
upper-air levels/parameters.

WINGRIDDS.
1) WINGRIDDS could not display or process TIME/CROSS Sections or any grid-point

displays associated with WAFS GRIB in Southern Hemisphere. This has been corrected.
2) Custom Grids using Polar Stereographic projections in the Southern Hemisphere were
not working correctly with WAFS GRIB data either. This has been corrected.
Speaking of Custom Grids, since it became a part of WINGRIDDS, I have never been
happy with how it has performed matching the gridded data to the requested grid
projection. So, I have been focusing on improving those operations to ease & streamline
the Custom Grid Projection setup. This will be coming in the near future.

WINGRIDDS.
1) Isentropic level Interpolation was not working correctly. It has been fixed.
2) Sigma level Interpolation was not working correctly. It has been fixed.
3) Additional issues dealing with the LIFT parameter were fixed.
4) The drawing of the Color Bar across the bottom of the screen has been returned to its
traditional look.
5) The following lines have been restored to the ALIAS.DAT file:
TPCI=SDVC 2.54 TPCP

CPCI=SDVC 2.54 CPCP
PWAI=SDVC 2.54 PWAT
This was done to ensure proper operation with previous versions of WINGRIDDS & in
V5.3, the lines are ignored & calculated internally.
6) The DOTS plot command was not working. It has been fixed.
7) The Latitude/Longitude readouts in the CROSS/TIME Section Dialog were rounding

any fractional degree input to the nearest degree and zeroing the fractional number. This
has been fixed
8) The Latitude numbers across the bottom of CROSS Section plots were off by a degree
or two at times. This has been fixed.
9) CROSS/TIME Sections were not able to plot decimal precipitation (TPCP, etc.) data.
This has been fixed.

WINGRIDDS.
1) IMAS calculation was not producing results. This has been fixed.
2) The LIFT parameter was not being calculated if it was not found in the GRIB file. Also
it was found a variety of other LIFT-associated parameters were being included in GRIB
files... in a non-standard way. Therefore, the following changes have been included – if
the LIFT parameter has been requested but is not found at the SFC level, WINGRIDDS
will attempt to search for LFT4, LFTS, and LFTX at the SFC and if nothing is found, it
will search for LIFT at the B015 level. If nothing is still found at this point, it will
calculate the parameter as the LNDX command.

WINGRIDDS.
1) PWAT and some precipitation results were incorrect. This has been fixed.
2) There were problems with color increments of contouring in certain situations. This
has been fixed
3) The following calculations were not working correctly on Isentropic levels: LDIF
(Layer Difference), LAVE (Layer Average), TDIF (Time Difference), TAVE (Time
Average), TTND (Time Tendency) and TTOT (Time Sum or Total). This issue has been
present since PCGRIDDS32 and has been corrected.
4) Some complex Contour commands (CI.2, C2-5, etc.) were not working properly. This
has been fixed.
5) Wind displays were not plotting data at speeds above 160 KTS. This has been fixed.
