Dear LAMP users,

Starting Tuesday, we began producing experimental Gridded LAMP observations and
guidance products for the CONUS and disseminating them on the NWS Server.  The
products are available in GRIB2 format.  The NWS is seeking user feedback on
these products through November 30, 2010.

To see the Public Information Statement announcing these new products and
soliciting public comments, please see:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/notification/pns10griddedlamp.htm

To access the data in GRIB2 format, view images of the gridded data, submit
comments, and get technical details about these new experimental products,
please see:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/gfslamp/docs/glmpinfo.php

We will add more information to the above page as we develop the documentation,
so check back occasionally if interested.

Thank you for your interest in LAMP.
