[CONDUIT #RFO-442890]: GFS upgrade

Hi Carissa,

Sorry for slow reply...

???  I am confused.  When you say GFS parallel, are you referring to
the 0.25 GFS or are you referring to something else?

What we would like to be able to do is setup a test feed of the 0.25
deg GFS (the one that is scheduled to go operational in January) so
we can evaluate the impact on bandwidth, decoding and use.

Correct.

Yes.

Right.  We are looking to do the testing in the least intrusive
way possible.

Cheers,
