Hi Sam,

I'm glad to hear you've been able to set up your own EDEX and ingest radar data 
so far.
Hopefully I can help a little with the other data.  Another AWIPS team member 
is out of
the office today, and she might have more insight on file types as well and I 
might have
more information from her sometime tomorrow.

For model data, the file type has to be grib or grib2.  I'm not totally 
confident about 
whether each product needs to be a separate file, but I believe if it's in 
grib/grib2 
format it should process properly.  Even if there are no menu items available, 
you should
be able to find your data in either the Product Browser 
(http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/d2d-perspective/#product-browser) or 
Volume Browser
(http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/d2d-gridded-models/).  These webpages 
have a little
information about how to use those tools.

If the model data you're using is not recognized by the current configurations 
in your
EDEX, you may need to define a navigation file, model definition file, and a 
table.
See http://unidata.github.io/awips2/edex/new-grid/ for more detailed 
information.

You should be able to look at the EDEX ingest logs 
(/awips2/edex/logs/edex-ingestGrid-YYYYMMDD.log) to see if your grid data is 
decoding
properly.

You can also edit the menus 
(http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/d2d-edit-menus/) to 
include your data directly as menu options.

You should be able to download GOES single channel data, METAR Data (either 
from ISU or 
NCEI), and some model data from 
(https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nomads/data-products).

I'm not sure about where to download model sounding data in the proper format, 
but can 
ask around and hopefully find an answer for you.

Please let me know if this answers some of your questions and I'll get back to 
you if
I find anything out about model sounding data.

Thank you!
