>Question looking through this.... >https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/datacenter/real-time-access/himawari-8/ Is there >anyway this can be integrated to EDEX Server?

I don't think so, I believe that is to view the data using their specific software. >I guess the same process will be applicable for Meteostat. >I am basically asking in a nutshell if there's ip server with real time >satellite data that is needed to get the EDEX Server running. The way AWIPS is designed, specifically with EDEX, is to have an LDM server running that is receiving a realtime feed of data and notifying EDEX to process the data. Currently Unidata has a big LDM system that we are receiving data from many entities and redistributing that to our local EDEX (that is public) and to Universities. However, just because you are receiving data doesn't mean AWIPS will know what to do with the data. There are plugins specifically written to ingest data and display it correctly. Himawari data is configured to work in AWIPS, however we currently don't have access to an LDM realtime feed of this data. Meteostat most likely won't ingest in AWIPS since there are current no plugins for that dataset. >Best regards, >Thanks for all your help so far.
