CNRFC NetCDF File Information

The CNRFC archived netCDF grids use a subset of a larger grid domain known as "HRAP" (Hydrologic Rainfall Analysis Project).  The projection is Polar Stereographic.  More information about the HRAP grid can be found here: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/tableb.html#GRID240.  Files can be downloaded from the CNRFC Data Archive.  All CNRFC NetCDF files are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
