RE: Comet Case Studies and IDV

Hi Jay,

Not sure which case(s) you tried, older pre '97 grib data ~may not play
well.

sat, radar, and newer grib datasets should work. Surface obs will be
ready in a couple of weeks.

Stay tuned, we are making fast progress.

Thanks for trying and appreciated the feedback :)

Cheers,

Jeff
