20051001:pqact.conf question for CMC-GEM ingest

Hi Matt,

Did you get this message?

---------
Dear users of CMC GEM model data,

As of the 12Z production run on October 18th, 2005, the GEM model dataset
made available via LDM/IDD will be enlarged and enhanced, as described
below:

*Content changes

The main change in contents consists in the addition of several new
vertical levels for the basic meteorological fields of geopotential
height, moisture, temperature, and wind.  These will be augmented to 28
pressure levels. Detailed information on available fields is available
at the following URL :

http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/Low-resolution_grib_e.html

The grid resolution and coverage are almost identical to our current LDM
grid ; the only difference is one additional row of grid points along
the northern edge of the grid.  The grid dimensions will then be 135x95
instead of 135x94.  New grid specifications can be found at

http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/CMC_GRIB_Technical_Grid_Specifications_e.html#low_res_reg

*New naming convention

In order to accomodate the changes in contents, we need to modify the
file naming convention for the LDM GRIB files.  Details of the new
file-naming convention can be found at :

http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/grib/Low-resolution_grib_e.html#convention

The dataset will be made identical with the GRIB dataset available via
http at :

http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/public/grib/lores/CMC_reg_00

and

http://dd.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/public/grib/lores/CMC_reg_12 .

If not, here it is, if you still want guidance, let us/me know...


Cheers,
