Hi Jack,

re:

I ran a number of inter-comparisons between different projections and models 
for P at MSL
for the same model run time and forecast hour.  It seems clear that the 202 
grid plot looks
shifted southward in all tests I ran on Saturday, day 2008068.

My first guess is that the calculation of the row number of the pole is off.  I 
will be
looking through the code to see I can see anything obviously wrong.

More later...

Cheers,

Tom
