[McIDAS #APD-338129]: GFS data on ADDE.UCAR.EDU

Hi Jack,

Sorry for the tardy reply...

Yes, I see what you mean.

Not right off.  I will do additional comparisons this weekend and take a hard 
look
at the XCD code that does the decoding if the other comparisons show similar
feature shifts.

Cheers,

Tom
