Unable to Import WPC - QPF data in GRIB2 format
The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center provides 2 national gridded precipitation products in GRIB2 format: Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) and Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF). Currently, RAS is unable to import the QPF dataset due to its compression type. Workaround: Use HEC-MetVue or HEC-Vortex to convert the QPF data to DSS before use in RAS.
FUTURE VERSION
Unable to Create Terrains from GeoTIFFs Exported from CAD Application
HEC-RAS geospatial libraries cannot determine the projection data stored in GeoTIFFs exported from a common CAD application. This results in a failure when importing the geotiff to a RAS terrain. Workaround: Reproject the terrain to a desired projection in a GIS application before importing. Alternatively, import the terrain in RAS before defining a projection in Mapper, then set the appropriate projection (spatialreference.org) following import.
FUTURE VERSION
GDAL Conflict when Opening RAS Mapper
"Error initializing the GDAL path variables. Please check HEC-RAS installation"error message is displayed when attempting to open RAS Mapper.
