[Cosmic_announce] Re: BUFR files now set to 300 levels, 60km max height

[Doug Hunt]

Dave:  The first of the large BUFR files was this one:

bfrPrf_C001.2007.263.17.37.G29_0001.0006_bufr

It was created on our system at 2007.263 22:55 UTC from data recorded 
on-orbit at 2007.263 17:37 UTC.

There has been no change in satellite status since our Sept. 12 
announcement.

Thanks,

   Doug
