Re: FW: NOGAPS

Hi Mark,

Since I am in "comms" w/you, we have seen some data outages of late.

Particularly the 0Z and 12Z runs, as well as some dropping of the 48 hour
forecast fields (have not verified this one locally, but a user sent it in
so thought I would bounce it of you for any insight).

Any ideas, or can you confirm?

Thanks again!

Jeff
