#  North American Regional Reanalysis, 32 km (Grid 221), 29 p-levels (1000 - 100 hPa) plus sfc
#  
#  There is a mismatch between the landmask and the soil moisture fields along the
#  western shore of Hudson Bay in the NARR output. To account for this problem, the
#  following line should be added to the SM entries in METGRID.TBL 
#  name= SM000010, SM010040, SM040100, SM100200
#
#       missing_value=-1.e30

#
#  The last 4 entries in the Vtable (LANDSEA, SOILHGT, SOILCAT, and VEGCAT) can be
# obtained from the fixed files at http://wwwt.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/rreanl/index.html
# (or from the NCAR archive), then 1) Run ungrib on the .fixed file and an initial time
# of 1979-11-08_00.  2) rename the output file (NARR.CONSTANTS is a good choice;
# i.e. mv FILE:1979-11-08_00 NARR.CONSTANTS) 3) Run ungrib on the .flx, .3D, and .sfc files
# (or your NCDC grib files) 4) Run metgrid with constants_name = NARR.CONSTANTS in the namelist
#
#  Note that U and V in NARR output are earth relative
