John, Yes, the name cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov has been redirected to kitt.llnl.gov so that cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac is really the same as kitt.llnl.gov/trac. You can tell because I just fixed your issue 4 on kitt, and now it's equally fixed in both places. The machine which was formerly cf-pcmdi.llnl

Hi Gary, I get a little nervous about re-usability when I see specific numbers (like 300km and -30C) in a definition. They prompt two questions: 1) Is it clear that the community always uses these exact numbers (or so often that they are a de facto standard)? 2) Why is it necessary to say 'to pi
