Hi Owen,

The Quicktime movies are way cool!  Thanks for sharing your work!!
Given the size of the movies, it is a good thing that we have
semi-unlimited bandwidth ;-)

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Glad you like the movies!
And thank you for your assistance last year helping me read the trace 
gas data into Mcidas format.
These products will become standard output for me here at the lab and I 
think they'll be very useful for me
and others looking at pollution transport.

All the best,

Owen
