Using GrADS to retrieve HYCOM data

[Dan Martin]

The full HYCOM data is on a curvilinear grid that I haven't been able to
make work in grads. They set up a linear grid for grads users by cutting
off pre-gridded section above 48 degrees north.

The update schedule is a bit irregular and the server is not alway up,
but nice data when it is there.

If anyone has the curvilinear grid version working in grads, any tips
would be nice.
