[gradsusr] Extract european Metars from monsoondata.org:9090 and plot them

[amelia graziano]

Jennifer,

Everything is working fine. There is just one 
problem, a lot of reports are missing. E.g. no 
reports at all from Sardinia, Italy

Is this a problem due to the source of METARs 
http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/stn/metar or somenthing else?

Thanks again! Amelia
