Updated background map?

Hi Patrick!

I managed how to get password. Go to
http://list.cineca.it/cgi-bin/wa?GETPW1=A1=ind07%26L=gradsusr

and you need to register your pass. Type in e-mail and choose password,
after that you will recieve e-mail with instructions how to proceed. I
cannot believe I didn't see that before asking here (sorry people).

About data... Yes. Data od nomads servers is delayed, and nomads
generally are *very* overloaded machines, so they become unreliable more
and more with time. ftp2u protocol is somewhat better than dods, it
seems. But, if you need really reliable solution, you will have to
download whole data (in GRIB2 format) from other locations than nomads.
See for example:
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/wesley/get_gfs.html

I don't know better solution (*), but also looking for it!


(*) = small download, only for limited area of interest, without much
delay and missing data
