Hello

I've got another problem with the Station Model Data. I use the
following commands
        CALL MAPTRN(18.,113.,XO,YO)

        IMDAT(1,3) = '11472'
        IMDAT(2,3) = '43269'
        IMDAT(3,3) = '10120'
        IMDAT(4,3) = '20100'
        IMDAT(5,3) = '30000'
        IMDAT(6,3) = '40480'
        IMDAT(7,3) = '51025'
        IMDAT(8,3) = '61250'
        IMDAT(9,3) = '79650'
        IMDAT(10,3) = '83692'

        CALL WMSTNM(XO,YO,IMDAT(1,3))

However there is something wrong with the data on the output symbol.
For example the air temperature appears as '54' instead of '10' and the
dew point is '50' instead of '10'.

It was not mentioned in the user guide whether to use degree celsius for
the temperature or not, however according to WMO the temperatures and
dew points are expressed in term of degree celsius in the synop data.
Also the precipitation appear as '492', which I cannot understand why!

Thank you for your assistance!!
