Hi all:

There is now an rNOMADS twitter account that posts grib and dods real
time tests every 6 hours (GFS 0.5x0.5 2 m temperature for grib, wind
gust for dods).  I post rNOMADS news there too.  The account is
@rnomads_r.  Check it out if you are having real time model download
issues...if it hasn't posted anything for 6 hours it may mean
something has gone wrong with NOMADS.  Alternatively it could be my
Ph. D. advisor shut off one of his computers for some reason.  Either
way, contact me.

There was an issue where ArchiveGribGrab was not working.  I've fixed
it and will submit a version to CRAN shortly.  In the meantime, email
me if you need a working version.

Finally, the "gens" model product is now two: gens_bc and gens_ndgd.  See:

https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/txt_descriptions/GFS_Ensemble_ndgd_bias_corrected_doc.shtml

for the difference between them.

Best,

Danny
