Hi Jamie,

Sorry, I missed you second email before I sent that response.  I'm not sure why 
it won't let you read it 
but I've copied the contents below:

#!/awips2/python/bin/python

from ufpy.dataaccess import DataAccessLayer

#connect to unidata edex
DataAccessLayer.changeEDEXHost("edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu")

#get a list of supported data types from the edex
types = DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes()
print(types)

#create a request and set the data type
req = DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest()
req.setDatatype("pirep")

#print out required identifiers
#required = DataAccessLayer.getRequiredIdentifiers(req)
#print(required)

#print out optional identifiers
#optional = DataAccessLayer.getOptionalIdentifiers(req)
#print(optional)

#print out available parameters
param = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableParameters(req)
print(param)

#set the parameter to turbulence intensity
req.setParameters("turbInten")
print(req)

#print out available location names
locations = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLocationNames(req)
print locations

#actually get the data for the request -- this returns an array
data = DataAccessLayer.getGeometryData(req)
#print out the turbulence intensity for one of the data objects in the array
#print data[3].getString("turbInten")

#cycle through all the objects and print out their turbulence intensities
for d in data:
        turb = d.getString("turbInten")
        if turb != "":
                print d.getString("turbInten")


Just save that into a text file with .py extension and you'll have to make sure 
it's 
executable and you should be good to go.

Let me know if that works!
