Hi Jane,

Yes, if I can find the data.  I would have to check to see if NCDC has
the GFS 0.5 degree global fields for the dates of interest.  If they
do, I can download the data files and overlay streamlines of 200 mb
winds on top of the satellite images (or make separate displays, of
course).  The question is if there is enough time to get all of this
done tomorrow...

Are those images or pictures?  An image is data; a picture is just that, a
picture?

What is the site you are referring to (i.e., what is its URL)?

re:

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
