Juying,

These kinds of products seem like they would be very useful to Unidata
participants.  I am sure that we can work out a mechanism by which they
can be distributed in our Internet Data Distribution system.

This could be done also.  The really nice thing about the IDD is that
it is quite easy to establish a new data injection node where products
can be fanned out to interested participants.

>I'm looking forward to hearing from you on this.  Thank you.

You are welcome.  It would be useful for us to:

o get a good overview of the products you mentioned along with examples

o get an estimate of the size of the products and the frequency of
  their generation

o anything else that you would consider to be pertinent.
