Thanks, Mike. So far, LDM has been working out pretty well. And the web
platform's coming together much faster than I thought it would. I can look
at HRRR and GFS availability times and do some download challenges to see
if they're more efficient than LDM but as noted, LDM, overall, is doing a
great job for me.
Thanks for the links. I'll play with them as well. I DID think of using
THREDDS but I'm not sure that'll work for what I want.
