What is the offline mean valid time supposed to be? There has always been some discrepancy between downloaded GMT time and that offline mean valid time, but the current difference I'm getting has finally made me wanna ask.As you can see, I wanted to download weather for 14 October, 19 GMT.First, I'm slightly confused about 0:00:00 (19Z), what is the 0:00:00 for?Second, why would it later say 14/10/2010 12:00:00?

On the report screen I'm getting 141856Z for a random station so that checks out okay. Just puzzled by the different time values.

Hi Mike,In ASE do you have ASE set to use system time? That is when you get the offline mean valid time message. You still get the correct data as you saw.
