Hello,

I can confirm what Paul has noticed.  I have noticed this ever since
the start of the FV3 GFS switchover.  My daily summaries show that the
received file sizes are always just a little bit smaller for 0p25,
0p50, and 1p00 resolution grids.

                         Received        Expected
File name                Bytes            Bytes
------------------------ ---------  ---------------------
gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p25.f003  331571643 vs status = 332129957
gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p25.f006  336373643 vs status = 337032238

gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p50.f003   99179578 vs status =  99358388
gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p50.f006  100337802 vs status = 100543868

gfs.t12z.pgrb2.1p00.f003   28352037 vs status =  28406326
gfs.t12z.pgrb2.1p00.f006   28598264 vs status =  28661206

I'm not sure what fields are missing from these forecast hours, but it
is consistent, day after day, run after run.  It doesn't affect any of
our operations, so I have not brought it up before now.
