    <p>Jim,</p>
    <p>No worries.  You can be like the football fan who misses a game
      and watches it on tape delay, i.e., you can still look at the file
      next week but just resist reading my answer  until afterwards.</p>
    <p>Also, there will be a follow-on contest on the epw format that
      might be more up your alley.  I haven't decided yet whether to
      post that on Friday or next Monday.</p>

                                  style="border-left:1px #ccc solid">This
                                  is the first of several posts
                                  regarding the nitty-gritty of
                                  commonly-used weather file formats. 
                                  Just to add some excitement to this
                                  rather dry topic, I thought I'd post
                                  them as little contests of your
                                  familiarity with weather files or at
                                  least your visual acumen.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  The first weather file format I'm
                                  putting under the microscope is the
                                  DOE-2 *.bin format.  Since the *.bin
                                  is a packed binary format, the files
                                  are not readily observable, and
                                  consequently there's been more than a
                                  little confusion in what they contain.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  I've attached a zip file that contains
                                  a weather file for Barrow Alaska 2012
                                  along with a DOE-2 hourly file listing
                                  the contents of this weather file. See
                                  if you can detect  the three things in
                                  this hourly dump of the weather data
                                  that's unusual or different. Hint: the
                                  hourly file was produced with a
                                  slightly modified version of the
                                  DOE-2.1E program. If you ran the
                                  weather file with the standard
                                  DOE-2.1E it will probably crash, and
                                  even with DOE-2.2 you will not see all
                                  the differences.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  You can either post your answers on
                                  the mail server or send them to me via
                                  e-mail. The first five persons to get
                                  the right answers will get a free
                                  historical year weather file of your
                                  choice from the White Box Technologies
                                  web site.  I will announce the results
                                  on Thursday, as well as explain what
                                  these three differences indicate about
                                  the DOE-2 *.bin weather format.<br>
