John,yea i saw this error. Finally the select surface products are coming in as grib2, not grib1. The error was in the transitions, grib1 files had grib2 records in them. These were the last of the CONDUIT products to be converted to grib2. Maybe Ethan could change the catalogs to look for grib2 files instead of grib1. I attached a list of parms, usually the number and levels of the parms change when this change occurs.
