In response to Zack's email and Greg Thompson's comments on it, the
GRIB reader in NCL has been updated using the currently documented
values at:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/
with the exception that model index 84 was changed from "MESO ETA
Model (currently 12 km)" to simply "MESO ETA Model", because we
believe the same index has been used historically for a number of
different model resolutions. Model indexes 83 and 85 are changed from
"No longer used" to what they were previously: "ETA Model - 80 km
version" and "ETA Model - 30 km version", on the assumption that any
GRIB file with these model indexes would be an old one.
We will be happy to provide a beta version of NCL to anybody who wants
to test out this change. Just let me know what kind of system you
have.
Also, comments are welcome on this change!
Cheers,
--Mary
