Kevin, Thanks, but it's the GFS I am looking for, not the NAM. Thanks, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Kevin W.

On ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov, go to /pub/data/nccf/com/nam/prod/nam.20080522. Substitute the correct date. GRIB2 files of the NAM 40km look like: nam.t##z.awip3d##.tm00.grib2 The first ## are the runs, as in 00, 06, 12, and 18. The second ## are the times into the forecast, as in 00, 03, ..., 84. The are the same size as the files that via LDM, though I suspect the order of the individual records are different. Kevin W.
