P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention that we also make extensive use of
the 80-km NAM 104 grids (due to their full-domain coverage).

CONDUIT users,
First off, let me say that the CONDUIT feed has been very valuable to
us and we really appreciate it!
We don't use the 40-km NAM 212 grid since it chops off too close to
our western boundary. We use the high-resolution GFS grids (.5 and
1.0 degree) and for the NAM, the 40-km 221 grids (awip3200, 25
MB/file) which we have to FTP from NCEP already. I don't foresee
using the RTMA in the near future, but someone in our department may
wish to, especially if it is a replacement for the RUC. Ditto for the
SREF.
