Could that explain the screwy last runs of the GFDL?????????



I would say "no". It would explain screwy runs for the GFS, but not the GFDL.



Actually Hugh, that may not be "entirely" true and perhaps Clark can verify this since he seems to have the inside scoop on sonding schedules... I fairly certain that the GFDL is initialized off the GFS parameters I'm afraid...
