Patrick,
The CONDUIT data is not modified from what is on the NWS data servers.
The GRIB products are sent as individual products rather than a single
file, but nothing is modified internal to he CONDUIT adta contents.
If you want to compare the contents of the 0.5 degree CONDUIT
data to NCEP files, simply FILE the data from the LDM, rather than
decoding it, and then re-converting back to grib.

the 0.5deg gfs conduit feeds
seem to be missing .5 deg of
data as compared to the raw
files downloaded via ncep... is
there any way around this?
i.e. note the error (s) when using
standard gdgrib2 then degrib
[ldm@beast bin]$ ./degrib -in chizgrib_F003.pgrb2 -P -Interp 2 -Separator
