Updated background map?

[Patrick Reuter]

Ok thanx!

Get_gfs uses the following adress :

#
$URL='http://www.ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.$YYYY$MM$DD$HH/gfs.t${HH}z.pgrb2f${FHR}';
#
# grib1 files from www.ftp.ncep.noaa.gov
$URL='http://www.ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.$YYYY$MM$DD$HH/gfs.t${HH}z.pgrbf${FHR}';


But this seems to be 1x1 resolution data, and not 0.5 0.5.

It is hard to get limited area data, I always download the whole world
and throw away what I don t need ...
