Kevin,
I don't think this issue is particular to the global 0.5 degree grids. I
compared the 500mb plot that you showed with the GRID 212 (40km) CONUS data
from NOAAPORT as well, and that data looks to have the same noisy features.
Both are GRIB2, and somewhat comparable grid spacing, so the display appears
consistently unattractive in that regard.

As for the 2nd paragraph below, that might still be the case, since the
0.5 degree fields are not sent (as far as I know) over NOAAPORT and/or the
SBN--they are just posted on the ftp servers (and by extension, the
CONDUIT feed).
FWIW, the 1 degree fields (which I don't think are sent over NOAAPORT, at
least not on the NWSTG1 channel) do not look different than pre-9/25, at
least at first glance.
