Hi Matt, Did you get this message? --------- Dear users of CMC GEM model data, As of the 12Z production run on October 18th, 2005, the GEM model dataset made available via LDM/IDD will be enlarged and enhanced, as described below: *Content changes The main change in contents consists in the addition of several new vertical levels for the basic meteorological fields of geopotential height, moisture, temperature, and wind. These will be augmented to 28 pressure levels. Detailed information on available fields is available at the following URL : http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/Low-resolution_grib_e.html The grid resolution and coverage are almost identical to our current LDM grid ; the only difference is one additional row of grid points along the northern edge of the grid. The grid dimensions will then be 135x95 instead of 135x94. New grid specifications can be found at http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/CMC_GRIB_Technical_Grid_Specifications_e.html#low_res_reg *New naming convention In order to accomodate the changes in contents, we need to modify the file naming convention for the LDM GRIB files. Details of the new file-naming convention can be found at : http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/Low-resolution_grib_e.html#convention The dataset will be made identical with the GRIB dataset available via http at : http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/public/grib/lores/CMC_reg_00 and http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/public/grib/lores/CMC_reg_12 .
