Hi Jamie, I've been playing around with it a little, so I'm actually pulling more parameters than you were interested in originally, so you can remove those if you'd like. The code is below: #!/awips2/python/bin/python from awips.dataaccess import DataAccessLayer #connect to unidata edex DataAccessLayer.changeEDEXHost("edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu") #create a request and set the data type req = DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest() req.setDatatype("pirep") #print out available parameters param = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableParameters(req) print(sorted(param)) #set the parameter to turbulence intensity params = ['timeObs', 'longitude', 'latitude', 'flightLevel', 'turbInten', 'turbTopHeight', 'turbBaseHeight', 'obsId', 'refTime', 'dataURI', 'reportType', "wmoHeader"] req.setParameters(*params) 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 (len(data)) #print(data[0]) #print(data[0].getParameters()) #print(data[0].getString("turbInten")) #print(data[1]) #print(data[1].getParameters()) #print(data[1].getString("turbInten")) #cycle through all the objects and print out their turbulence intensities for d in data: turb = "" timeObs = "" flightLvl = "" turbTop = "" turbBase = "" lat = "" lon = "" time = "" id = "" dataUri = "" header = "" type = "" params = d.getParameters() if "turbInten" in params: turb = d.getString("turbInten") if "timeObs" in params: timeObs = d.getString("timeObs") if "flightLvl" in params: flightLvl = d.getString("flightLevel") if "turbTopHeight" in params: turbTop = d.getString("turbTopHeight") if "turbBase" in params: turbBase = d.getString("turbBaseHeight") if "longitude" in params: lon = d.getString("longitude") if "latitude" in params: lat = d.getString("latitude") if "obsId" in params: id = d.getString("obsId") if "refTime" in params: time = d.getString("refTime") if "dataURI" in params: dataUri = d.getString("dataURI") if "reportType" in params: type = d.getString("reportType") if "wmoHeader" in params: header = d.getString("wmoHeader") # if(turbTop != "" and turbTop != "-9999"): print("timeObs: ", timeObs, "turbInten: ", turb, "turbTop: ", turbTop, "turbBase: ", turbBase, "flightLevel: ", flightLvl, "lon: ", lon, "lat: ", lat, "id: ", id, "time: ", time, "dataURI: ", dataUri, "report: ", type, "header: ", header) --Shay Carter Software Engineer II UCAR - Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: QVN-243999 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.
