Hi Martin, > We do have available several types of standard observations (SYNOP, METAR, > TEMP) > that we can ingest but in all honesty we didn't clear that path yet. I'll let > you know if I find any issues setting this custom data on EDEX. Are you planning on setting up your own EDEX right now (near future)? > That would be great! At this time our code tries to match the first available > forecast run (which generally, taking into account the delays on the cycle > and > output, is around the real time) with the closest observation so any analysis > will work on our side. I will let you know if we make any progress on this! --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer UCAR - Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: AWM-758949 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.
