Data complied by Joe Nettesheim Sept 2014.
One directory for each case
Pressure Directories
Files named AMPSpressure_YYYYMMDDTT_fhour.GIF
Note:Preceeding 0's for months, Days and Times less than 10 omitted
because I didn't account for those on the scripts I wrote.
Note: December 2001 case the naming scheme is different
Note:Pressure plotted on the mean sea level surface to get MSLP
Wind Directories
Files named AMPSwindspeed_YYYYMMDDTT_fhour.GIF
Note: Some of the forecast gribs must not have had the u and/or v
componenets since the GRDDISP wasn't able to calculate SPD
Note: Wind speeds were calculated at 10m
