[THREDDS #GVO-618793]: siphon TDS historical (not realtime) forecasts question



Craig,

Actually, the most recent forecast is available under the "Latest" link. The 
Best forecast is a hybrid collection across multiple forecast runs; for each 
time in the time series, the collection looks for the model output field with 
the smallest forecast offset. In an ideal case, this gives you the analysis 
fields up to the present time, and then gives you the most recent forecast.

Does this help?
