I use the NOAA 500mb charts frequently as they are a great way to see what is coming at me in terms of future weather. Now that GRIBs have become my overwhelming interest for the week, I started to look at what was available for 500mb GRIBs. I can't find anything out there that shows both 500mb height AND winds at that height. I have found some that include surface wind with the 500mb isobars, but that doesn't really help as I am interested in how FAST those upper level systems are moving. Anybody found a GRIB that duplicates the NOAA chart?
