Back on April 27th, NWS changed how it sent out HRS on NOAAPORT. There are non-conforming characters trailing the GRIB products which can throw some decoders off. For example a hexdump of end of product: before: 37 37 37 37 0D 0D 0A 03 01 0D 0D 0A now: 37 37 37 37 03 00 0D 0D 0A 03 01 0D 0D 0A Also, if the extra products are added in, expect the Meso-Eta run to jump from 57MB to 110MB. Just a word of warning for those Internet challenged sites like Purdue. ________________________________________________________ Daniel Vietor Mail: address@hidden Unisys Corp Title: Engineer/Meteorologist 221 Gale Lane Phone: 610-444-2407 Kennett Square PA 19348 Fax: 610-444-2420
