Model Name File (mod_name.lup)
The model name database file contains a list of model numbers from the GRIB files and a name to use in labels for WXP products. The model names change on a regular basis so rather than hard coding the model names into the program, the model lookup file provides the means for updating the model name list and to tailor how the model name is displayed on WXP products.
FORMAT
The model name file is formatted as follows:
[src:]model name
[src:]model name
...
where:
- src -- The optional source/center ID from the GRIB product (Octet 5 of PDB, ie ECMWF=98, NCEP=07)
- model -- The model ID from the GRIB product (Octet 6 of PDB)
- name -- The name to use for the model (ie Eta, NGM, AVN)
