Carl,

If you are referring to documentation of the product headers, then
this is external to the LDM.  Online documents on the information in
product headers can be found in:

Unidata HomePage
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
  Data Sources
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/Data_Sources.html
    Data Stream Details
    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/data.detail.html
      Meteorological Products Processed at the NWS Telecommunications Gateway 
      http://205.156.54.206/oso/dir_subset.shtml

The last page (and links from it) contains information on the format
of NWSTG products.  Please let us know if this was the kind of information
you were looking for.
  
>Thanks.
