6. NWS Digital Services 6 Subjective Customer Feedback drives our Graphical Product Improvement (2004-03-05 03:48:40) I found the technical quality to be very state of the art and extremely useful in my being able to interpret what my weather will be like. (2004-02-17 18:30:20) What I am asking for…[is a forecast] with up to 1km spatial resolution and up to 1 hour time resolution. (2004-02-29 17:11:25) I have found the accuracy to be very good, the technical quality is detailed, yet simple enough to follow. The timeliness is very reasonable. (2004-01-26 18:45:06) There's nothing that I don't like, but it would be useful to see a map of the current temperature, instead of just the forecast max and min temps. (2004-06-12 06:15:04)…The key to people relying on the service is consistency.

7. NWS Digital Services 7 Subjective Customer Feedback drives our Gridded Product Improvement (2004-06-18 21:13:18): Use NDFD GRIB2 Decoder to convert data into ArcView format. Downloads are easy and quick. The NDFD GRIB2 Decoder is a great product. Product resolutions were satisfactory for mapping applications. I had some difficulty with the sky and weather products. File conversion and display were not quite as easy. It would be nice to have the products available for download in an ArvView compatible format. Thanks for providing some of the tools to utilize these products.
