[Datastream #NUL-612145]: NAM Model TIN 11-16

Hi Kevin,

No worries.

I would look for grids with Product IDs that contain NMM_89 as a first
step.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of doing that!

Are you looking for these from your local NOAAPort ingester, or
are you look for these in the IDD feeds?  The reason I ask is that
by looking at the full IDD HDS|NGRID feeds, you would see something
_if_ what you are looking for is really there.  Looking at your own
NOAAPort ingester should be equivalent _unless_ it is having some
problems (which I am not suggesting, by the way).

Again, I have been told many, many times that the contents of the NOAAPort
SBN are determined by operational needs as determined by the NWS.  If the
NWS has determined that parallel runs of the NAM are important for operations,
it would seem to me that they would cease being parallel runs and join
the operational status.  I could, of course, be wrong in this, but the
fact that you haven't seen what you are looking for suggests that my view
is correct.

Cheers,

Tom
