Leon,
Starting in 2005, there about 1200 hourly mesonet files (attached list) that have their station names, station providers, and/or their station types in the netcdf files using escape characters - '\x'. Is this supposed to be this way? It is very difficult to use the data when it comes like this and now I have to figure out how to actually get the station name, etc. from these files. Once again, I don't know exactly how many files are like this or exactly how many variables either, but just letting you know.
Ruben

All,

This will have no effect on the MADIS-NWS data.
