20030212: AVN / MRF / GFS data

Eric,

GRIB data defines a number in the PDS data block which identifies the model.
At this point, NCEP is still producing AVN and MRF grib model ids from the GFS 
run
to be compatible with their legacy code. An announcement will be made by the 
data 
management group at NWS if and when they plan to change their model identifiers.
