NZMS

NZMS data after the upgrade on 14-09-2020 contained grid with 1441 longitude points from 0 to 359.9 degrees instead of the intended 1440 points from 0 to 359.75 degrees corresponding exactly to  0.25 degrees resolution. The extra grid point made the resolution slightly less than 0.25. The fix has been applied since 0Z, 11-06-2021 run.
