Hi Luis-

Sorry for not answering your previous request.  I must have overlooked it.

> A. - It is possible that the same analysis, for below example, slide 1 .- 
> DGEX GFS 0.5 ° runed 18 Octuber 2009, the same date and time., For Water 
> Runoff for of the 23 Oct. 2009, 06.00Z, is different for the diapositive 2 .- 
> DGEX GFS 0.5 °, runed for the 22 Octuber 2009, 06.00 Z the same date and time.

Since they are two different runs of the model, the results may differ.  In the 
first image, from the 18/00Z run, the forecast is a 120 hr forecast.  In the 
second image, the forecast is a 24 hour forecast.  I would expect that the 
latter would be a better forecast.

> B. - It is possible that some body, paraleley could access the IDV software,

No.  The missing label is a known problem that we are trying to track down.

I agree.

It is just that two different runs of the model will possibly create different 
answers.
