20030806: SNCROSS date and time not found in file

Dusty,

This is because you had DATTIM=all when you added the data to the file
with SNMOD. It will not cause a problem, other than those times are
taking up slots in the data file (recall you can have 300 times in a file).
Those other times are times that exist in your database, just no data for
ABQ at those times.

Recall in my original message that I showed DATTIM=0000;1200 to
just copy the 0Z and 12Z times. These are the 2 times per day 
that are mandatory upper air times. 

Note that in your TITLE, you have Albuquerque misspelled
(before you create too many images you would have to change later).

Steve Chiswell.
