<p>Hello all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just released rNOMADS 2.1.2. This is a minor update. It mainly fixes all my examples that depended on the now-removed "gfs_hd" abbreviation (this has been replaced with gfs_0p50). I also changed the GetClosestGFSForecasts function to GetClosestForecasts
and required the user to input the model abbreviation.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The new GFS model output with 0.25 x 0.25 degree resolution is really pretty: twice the resolution of the old high definition model! Check out an example script here.</p>
