Thanks Ben! I guess where I am with this now is that I have found, as you say, the VGTYP in the operational products (the *sflux* grib files), but I don't find it on any of the 0.5 x 0.5 degree files. Which means, that as you say, I'll have to figure out how to reproject the data from the Gaussian

Maybe I should also follow up on this and indicate that one variable I really want is the Veg Type defiinitions from the files. It exists in the file from joewheatley's example, (VGTYP_P0_L1_GGA0) but it is on a Gaussian lat/lon grid. I've downloaded some of the gfs files from the 0.5 x 0.5 degree

2010-11-02 Thread John
Folks, I'm trying to find documentation online that provides guidance on what all the variables are that are in the NCEP model output grib files. There are many NCEP models, so to be clear, I'm referring to the GFS 0.5x0.5 degree product. I was looking at this nice blog: http://joewheatley.net/nc
