Hi Jim, Yuan:

The matching is good, but the "best" time series on the server isn't actually 
grabbing the "best" files available. For example, if we compare the "best" for 
the GFS 1.0 degree for

2013-09-08 18Z, 21Z

with the 2013-09-08 run using

18Z (analysis), 21Z (3 hour forecast)

the grids turn out to be different (I'm comparing MSLP_Eta_Model_Reduction),
even though they *should* be the same. This is not always the case with the
best time series, but it is occurring on a few other datasets.

We're looking into it, and hopefully we'll have an answer soon.
