Patrick, You have what is being sent on NOAAport. The output times you can expect are F000, F001, F002, F003, ( F006, F009, F012 ). The latter three times are for the 3 hourly extended runs. The other times F004, F005, F007, F008, F010 and F011 are just a small set of parameters. Steve Chiswell On Tue, 23 Sep 2003, Patrick O'Reilly wrote: > Hi all, > > Hope someone can help me out here.
