How to get 40km RUC data on CONUS AWIPS scale

Those of you readers using AWIPS may have been puzzled or annoyed that one cannot see 40km resolution RUC data on the CONUS scale on AWIPS (only 80km res RUC data are available). Tom Kent of FSL has provided an easy fix to your AWIPS that corrects this problem:

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
run ./mainScript.csh -grids $FXA_LOCAL_SITE $FXA_LOCAL_SITE
The grids task is the only task that needs to be done...

restart D2D

That should do it...
