Tom, The NOAAPORT broadcast of nwstg channel data (which is the source of the HRS IDD data stream) contains ETA fields for hours 60 to 84 in the 218 grid parameters (which are generally surface and boundary layer grids in the noaaport broadcast- not the full grid 218 data set that you would see on the NWS ftp servers). The CONDUIT data sets on the IDD carry the full ETA data sets for the ETA 212 and ETA 104 grids that extend to hours 84. These above 2 data sets are available now via the LDM. The DVBS broadcast of NOAAPORT for the NWSTG2 channel now contains ETA 218 grids through hour 84, and the DGEX grids from 90 to 192 hours. We are currently looking at the reliability of the DVBS data stream for broadcast on the IDD. Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support >From: "Thomas L.
