Re: LDM Feed of COSMIC Data

Thanks, Karl.  We already have access to idd.unidata.ucar.edu
from our server 'gsddata.esrl.noaa.gov', and I can see EXP/COSMIC 
data via notifyme.  So, we probably are all set.  I will let you 
know if we have any problems.

For the record, here are the particulars you requested:
