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
