Announcing new version of NCL

Dear NCL Users,

I'm very pleased to announce that a new version of NCL (V4.3.0) is now
available for download on the ESG (www.earthsystemgrid.org) website.

This is a pretty major release as it contains support for reading
GRIB2 files as well as a number of other features and bug fixes:

   - Updates to GRIB1 reader (important to know about)
   - New and long-requested "where" function
   - Two-dimensional forward/backward Fourier transform routines
   - Two cumulative sum routines
   - New graphics routines "gsn_contour_shade" and "gsn_table"
   - Twelve new color tables

A full description of the new features and functionality in version
4.3.0 can be found at:

     http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/new_release.shtml

Support for reading GRIB2 files is included in the "addfile" and
"addfiles" functions and the "ncl_grib2nc" and "ncl_filedump"
applications. Since this is a new format, we will especially be
interested in hearing about your experiences with NCL's GRIB2
reader. Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions or
problems.

--Mary
