Since you would be interested in a subset, you would want to be on a leaf so you don't have to have all the data passing through you. Since we don't have a lot of sites right now, a feed might be fairly far away. Can you send traceroutes to: cyclone.atmo.arizona.edu data3.atmos.uiuc.edu profhorn.meteor.wisc.edu From there we can see what kind of routes are possible. I presume the other information regarding decoding from GRIB was to your question. Steve Chiswell
