AWIPS CAVE can display all of these data types from the edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu server, so I think that answers your question "how/where to get data", unless I misunderstand your question. If you mean how to get the raw data files locally, LDM is in fact an answer (and AWIPS EDEX uses LDM to ingest its data). But since you are on a windows system, it's not possible to run the LDM yourself and receive the raw data. -Michael Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DJE-160659 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
