Robert,

NCEP is currently in a period where they will produce both grib1 and grib2 for 
6 months.
After that period, the grib1 products will begin to be removed. You will find 
other
instances on the ncep server where both grib1 and grib2 are being produced
(eg the NAM 212 grids).

The CONDUIT feed will of course have to transition all the remaining grib1 to 
grib2.

We do provide th 0.5 degree as grib2. There are many users that are lagging 
behind
in upgrading their capabilities to handle grib2, so the 1 degree in grib1 being 
delivered
provides them some overlap. After the grib1 production at NCEP goes away, it 
may be that we 
could eliminate a complete duplication of the 0.5 in grib2 and the 1.0 in grib2 
for 
the same data set and use that bandwidth for other data sets, such as the SREF
and CFS products that users have asked for.
