The numbers we provided in the CONDUIT survey were provided to us by NCEP. Since the inclusion of those volumes was not intended to alert folks to potential problems in their receipt of the data, we did not do a more detailed analysis to make sure that the numbers were 100% correct. The intention was to alert users to the ballpark volumes included in CONDUIT now, and what they could be if the 0.25 degree GFS data were added. re: > My pqact entries look like this: > > ###0.50 degree GFS grib2 > # FILE /data/gfs/gfs0.50deg/\1\2\3\4/gfs.\1\2\3\4\5_f\7.grb2 > CONDUIT > ^data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.([12][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([01][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])/(gfs.*pgrb2.0p50.)f(.*) > !(.*)! > FILE /data/gfs/gfs0.50deg/\1\2\3\4/gfs.t\5z.pgrb2.0p50.f\7 > ###1.00 degree GFS grib2 > CONDUIT > ^data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.([12][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([01][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])/(gfs.*pgrb2.1p00.)f(.*) > !(.*)! > FILE /data/gfs/gfs1.00deg/\1\2\3\4/gfs.t\5z.pgrb2.1p00.f\7 OK. Thanks for the correction on the volumes. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
