Steve, After the 12 UTC run on Wednesday August 9 should work for me. One question.. I'm still splitting my request lines for CONDUIT into 5 separate ones as: request CONDUIT "[05]$" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov request CONDUIT "[16]$" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov request CONDUIT "[27]$" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov request CONDUIT "[38]$" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov request CONDUIT "[49]$" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov Do I still need to be doing this, and should I similarly split the ncepldm requests? Thanks, Pete In a previous message to me, you wrote: > >David and Pete, > >I need to coordinate a change in your LDM request lines so that we >can implement the extended forecast output for the GFS0.5 degree and add >GRIB2 RUC files (which provide additional hourly forecast hours). > >I would like to enact the change after the 12Z 0.5 degree GFS run has >propagated > (eg after 1700Z) and would like to know if you can implement the LDM >restart on Wednesday Aug 9. > >The change required will be: > >Current request line to tgsv32: >request CONDUIT ".*" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov > >New request lines: >request CONDUIT "ST.opnl" tgsv32.nws.noaa.gov >request CONDUIT "nccf.*prod/(gfs.*pgrb2|ruc2a.*grib2)" ncepldm.w >oc.noaa.gov > >The effect of the restriction of the tgsv32 to just the ST.opnl will >remove the feed of the ST.opnt 0.5 degree products.
