India meteorological subdivisions

[Jennifer Adams]

Jon,
GrADS isn't very good at keeping up to date with political boundaries
(I can almost hear some members of the list laughing out load at this
gigantic understatement). The data and scripts on monsoondata.org have
not been touched in almost three years, so it doesn't surprise me that
what you found at tropmet.res.in (the original source) is different.
Stick with the original source for the most accurate info.
Jennifer
