If you want to really cut down the amount of data being sent to Costa Rica, The primarily useful data for them will be: DDPLUS ^(S|U).* HRS ^H.[I-P].* MCIDAS ^LWTOA3 (1[45]|21)' Since most of the text products/forecasts don't cover their area, the main interest in DDPLUS is probably surface and upperair observations- hence ^(S|U). That will obtain all metar/synoptic/ship/buoy surface obs and upperair reports. Later, they may want to add the Atlantic/carribean hurricane bulletins if bandwidth allows. The HRS model grids that would be most useful would be the global AVN thinned grids that provide 0-72 hours. The may want to add the MRF 3.5-10 day later. The LWTOA3 14x is goes-8 vis, 15x is goes-8 IR and 21x is the goes-8 wv.
