[Datastream #QJL-582946]: Re: Rerun the case starting at 0200Z instead of 01 00Z



Hi Steve, 

That feed originates at GSD (formerly FSL). You are getting it via the LDM, but 
the feed comes from GSD. Here is what I got back from them:

" The mesonet and gpsmet data are in the same file.  The metar data are in 
another file.  MDL is probably getting it from us, not Unidata.  If someone 
needs more details, feel free to have them contact me directly."

The point of contact at GSD is Mike Barth:
