Hi everyone,

With today's implementation of the GFS upgrades, the 500 and 1000 hPa height 
anomaly grids are no longer part of the output.  This was advertised in the NWS 
Technical Implementation Notice, so it is not a surprise ... but up till now, 
we made use of these grids in our web products.

Does anyone know of another quick-and-easy online source of either anomaly or 
mean grids for these two height levels?  I can put something together via the 
CFSR, but that will take a wee bit of time ...

Cheers,

Kevin
