Well, you see, that's the whole problem with the consulting
business. Even when you have it together enough to ask a
question like this, the chance that your client might know
the answer is about nil. Otherwise, they would be writing
the program themselves.

Here is what I know. I have some TRMM data in a particular
lat/lon range at a particular time (e.g. 4AM on 7 July 2001).
I want to pull out any QSCAT wind data that might overlap my
TRMM data by about an hour or two.

What questions would it be helpful for me to know to ask?

Cheers,

David
