We made a change to the FSL2 FSL.NetCDF.NOAAnet.windprofiler
(and RASS) data processing on 9/22 at 14:47Z that I had hoped 
would be transparent to y'all.  

The change was to stop generating the netCDF files from BUFR 
data sent from the FSL Demonstration Division (DD - the profiler 
group in FSL) and begin just passing along netCDF files directly 
from DD.

The key pattern for these data has changed slightly, which
might account for your not seeing them.  Namely, we have
dropped trailing ".*" from the strings.  However, I do see 
that thelma and motherload are successfully requesting and 
receiving the data as:

   FSL2  "^FSL\.NetCDF\.NOAAnet\.windprofiler\."

I should also mention that it looks like the units in the netCDF 
files have changed slightly... sorry, I didn't catch that before
we made the switch.  I will need to work with the DD folks 
to reconcile the differences.

Please let me know if you have questions/concerns.
