         ! numTau is the number of synoptic periods ahead for which
         !        tropical cyclone position forecasts are done at a
         !        single forecast time, at this writing, ten.  For
         !        all aids except cliper-120 the taus are 12, 24,
         !        36, 48, and 72.  Only the first five taus are used.
         !        For cliper-120 the taus are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60,
         !        72, 84, 96, 108, and 120.  All ten taus are used.

         ! newNumTau is used for the newWriteAidRcd routine.  This
         !           includes the above mentioned forecast periods
         !           and also include tau 0.  So the taus are:
         !             0,  12,  24,  36,  48,  60, 72, 84, 96,
         !           108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168 hours.
         !           Expanded to include six and seven days...
