g2sub V1.1 on Nomads

[Wesley Ebisuzaki]

Pierre,

    The operational nomads (http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov) has a help desk
and they are the people who can fix the problem.

The grib2 files has TCDCclm available and it can be downloaded if  you
retrieve all the TCDC fields.  You should be able to retrieve the TCDCclm
by itself but operations made a mistake in configuring the program.
