** The person in charge of the NCEP grib table decided to modify the 
   ncep local grib table (NCO web table) by removing the locally defined 
   soil moisture.  So if someone finds a locally defined soil moisture, 
   they may not be able figure out what it contains.  In the future, 
   the numbers could be reused.

   The person in change of the NCEP grib table was advised not to
   remove existing definitions.  But as the person once said, "You
   are not my boss."  He said that rmoving existing defintiions was
   needed for his "grib template" work.

   So Manfred's new get_gribtab.sh adds SOILM and SOIL_M

So the differences are in the removal of level information which 
is the correct thing to do.  These files should not have "hourly"
in their definition.  Maybe it will be corrected in the next update.



1/29/2021:  (old directory structure

./get_gribtab.sh
mv gribtab gribtable

no other changes
diff gribtable.dat gribtable.dat.1.2018 only shows additions
../../check_dup_gribtable.sh show no duplicates

No manual changes!!! did cleanuped webpages or Manfred's new download script fix the problems?
