Jennie,

The NCEP "final" analysis is the GDAS (Global Data Assimilation System). These 
grids are 
currently only on the NCEP non-operational ftp server (and not the NWS TOC 
server), but after the NWS moratorium, we have asked that they get added to the 
CONDUIT data stream. At the moment, you'd have to
download them from either ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov (or NCDC which may possibly be 
delayed 1 day).
