Re: 20051205: 20051201: CMC models (fwd)

Lu,

The CMC grid data does have some fields available at the 
3 hour intervals. These can be seen through the "Info" button
in the grid browser in Garp, or the GDINFO program:

Eg:
  104 060110/1200F003                           2       -1     HGHT      DPDK
  105 060110/1200F003                           2       -1     HGHT      DWPK
  106 060110/1200F003                           2       -1     HGHT      TMPK
  107 060110/1200F003                           0       -1     NONE      P03M
  108 060110/1200F003                           0       -1     NONE      PRXX
  109 060110/1200F003                           0       -1     NONE      PRES
  110 060110/1200F003                           0       -1     NONE      PMSL
  111 060110/1200F003                           0       -1     NONE       CLD
...
  216 060110/1200F009                           2       -1     HGHT      DPDK
  217 060110/1200F009                           2       -1     HGHT      DWPK
  218 060110/1200F009                           2       -1     HGHT      TMPK
  219 060110/1200F009                           0       -1     NONE      P09M
  220 060110/1200F009                           0       -1     NONE      PRXX
  221 060110/1200F009                           0       -1     NONE      PRES
  222 060110/1200F009                           0       -1     NONE      PMSL
  223 060110/1200F009                           0       -1     NONE       CLD
etc.

Since there are some grids at these times, Garp will present them
in the available time list.

To avoid these times in the plotting menu, hold the CTRL key while left
mouse clicking the intermediate times you don't want.
