If y'all can document a problem with the map or geo I'll certainly fix
it. I believe it's correct, but I'll have to generate another page to
make it compare using one of the worldfiles I've got. I'm not
generating a geotiff per se of the thing.
I'm snagging all the CONUS radars I get data on. They have to be
reporting 'PRECIP' mode, rather than 'Clear Air' or 'Maint'. If they're
not reporting appropriately, they're not included in the mosaic. I
guess I ought to start doing an overlay of Not Avail for the Maint Mode
ones...
It's sounding like the geofile may be screwed up. I'll revisit it but I
thought it was pretty clean before. I could have fumble-fingered
something, however...
