Hi Carissa, re: > Hi all. Just wanted to revisit this. The date to go operational on the new > GFS is now Jan 14th.

I don't think we need anything from you, and yes, we are still going to send a note to the CONDUIT using community about what they would like to see added to the datastream. Question: - does the availability of the 0.25 deg GFS data mean that the 0.5 deg GFS data will no longer be available? If yes, it essentially means that the GFS must be upgraded to the 0.25 deg fields. If no, it means that there is time to do an orderly transition to the 0.25 deg fields The issue is really whether the CONDUIT relays and end-users can accommodate the 4x (or more) increase in data volume that would/will occur with the relay of the 0.25 deg data. Comment: - Lately I have been spending my time trying to sort out some things in the NOAAPort SBN that we believe may be GRIB2 coding mistakes I have not written you or Becky (by the way, who is the correct person to contact about problems with NOAAPort-delivered data?) because I wanted to be absolutely sure that our opinion that some things are not being coded correctly is absolutely correct.
