[meg.infolist.announce] new MEG web site

[Shrinivas Moorthi]

Geoff,
    Great job and great website :-).
Two minor comments I want to make about the GFS model.  The prediction 
model in not purely spectral.
It is GSM with Semi-Lagrangian dynamics (as opposed to CFSv2 or WAM 
which are not with Semi-Lagrangian dynamics).
Also, the microphysics  in GFS is not truely Zhao and Carr.  It is 
really Zhao and Carr and Sundqvist , I know because I implemented the 
scheme.
What about CFS v2 of NGAC? they is not listed.  As we are moving toward 
Unified Forecast System, MEG needs to
look at all time scales.
Thanks
Moorthi
