Watch out here.  The ETA model comes in on both grids 211 and 212.  The
212 grids are double the resolution of the 211.  There is 3 hourly grids
on 212 but these only include surface temperature, dewpoint, max/min
temp, winds plus precipitation.  None of the upper level grids come in
on 212 or at 3 hourly resolution.  I will put a more comprehensive list
out on the Unisys web site.
