[IDV #BQM-327041]: One Issue With IDV And One Question

Hi Jacob-

There have been some issues with the 12km NAM dataset, but unfortunately,
the people who know about the problem are out this week.  Would you
send me your bundle so I can look at it more closely?

At present, we don't really support the ensemble products.  There
are no catalogs that I'm aware of for this data at present.
