Subject: [gembud] Synoptic Data source
Hi,
I'm looking for a good source for synoptic surface data. I've been trying to
use the files available at http://weather.admin.niu.edu/data/, but I keep
getting errors with dclsfc:
[8515] 140725/0228[LS -3] Bad group length - reject rest of report: 521 SMMX01
MXBA 250600

Something that is in a format that's ready to be pushed through dclsfc would be
great... or already in gempak format would be even better!
Thanks,
