10m winds in GFS

[Derek Goring]

Diane

Here is a snippet of my GrADSDODS text which retrieves pressure OK, but gives missing data for the velocities (and has done since 25 Jan05):
sdfopen http://nomad3.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/gfs/gfs20050130/gfs_00z_anl
set lev 1000
set lat -60 -20
set lon 150 220
* Open a file for binary data
set gxout fwrite
set fwrite ./Histpuv/20050130.bin
* Retrieve latitude and longitude
set t 1
* Retrieve latitudes
d lat
* Retrieve longitudes
d lon
* Retrieve pressures
d prmsl
* Retrieve eastward 10 m wind
d ugrd10m
* Retrieve northward 10 m wind
d vgrd10m
* Write the times off to a file
writetime ./Histpuv/20050130.tim
close 1

Dear Derek,

Could you please provide the following info:

Where are you getting the data (full address, please, if applicable)?
What is the filename?
What grid resolution?
What initial time?
What forecast hour?
Can you describe what looks odd about it?
Where does it look odd?

That will help the modelers look into it.
Thanks.
Diane Stokes
