Re: [conduit] [ldm-users] GFS change at 1200 UTC 25 September?

As for the 2nd paragraph below, that might still be the case, since the 0.5 degree fields are not sent (as far as I know) over NOAAPORT and/or the SBN--they are just posted on the ftp servers (and by extension, the CONDUIT feed).
FWIW, the 1 degree fields (which I don't think are sent over NOAAPORT, at least not on the NWSTG1 channel) do not look different than pre-9/25, at least at first glance.

But that notice

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/tin07-59gfs_upgrade_unifiedpost.txt

says:

"THE PRIMARY IMPACT TO CUSTOMERS RECEIVING THE GFS WILL BE THAT
THE DEFAULT PRECIPITATION TYPE ALGORITHM WILL CHANGE"

and further

"THE PRODUCTS/GRIDS WHICH ARE DISSEMINATED TO NOAAPORT AND/OR THE
SATELLITE BROADCAST NETWORK /SBN/ WILL NOT BE CHANGED IN VOLUME
OR CONTENT."

So there appears to be more to this than that . . .
