Hi Justin, re: > How were you able to determine that most of the fields were interpreted > by gribinsert? I downloaded firewx files from the FTP resource that Becky included in a previous email, and then ran gribinsert (v1.4) on my workstation here in Unidata. The number of fields for which a "GB" error/warning was issued was small. My interpretation of this result is that there are not many modifications/additions needed to the GEMPAK tables used for GRIB/GRIB2 cracking (cracked to extract metadata used to create meaningful LDM/IDD Product IDs). re: > Were you able to connect your LDM to the CONDUIT box we've broken out? > It can be reached at: 140.90.33.32 I didn't try this before sending you the note yesterday afternoon. (few minutes later) OK, I verified that I can REQUEST CONDUIT data from 140.90.33.32. I did this from the Unidata machine that is regularly REQUESTing CONDUIT data from WOC machines: daffy.unidata.ucar.edu, 128.117.140.208. A 'notifyme -vl- -f CONDUIT -h 140.90.33.32' shows that data is being made available on 140.90.33.32: [ldm@daffy ~]$ notifyme -vl- -f CONDUIT -h 140.90.33.32 Aug 17 15:11:30 notifyme[20306] NOTE: Starting Up: 140.90.33.32: 20110817151130.000 TS_ENDT {{CONDUIT, ".*"}} Aug 17 15:11:30 notifyme[20306] NOTE: LDM-5 desired product-class: 20110817151130.000 TS_ENDT {{CONDUIT, ".*"}} Aug 17 15:11:30 notifyme[20306] NOTE: NOTIFYME(140.90.33.32): OK Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 71719 20110817151158.353 CONDUIT 000 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/1 - HYBL! 000000 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 71692 20110817151158.360 CONDUIT 001 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/2 - HYBL! 000001 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 71553 20110817151158.365 CONDUIT 002 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/3 - HYBL! 000002 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 71449 20110817151158.365 CONDUIT 003 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/4 - HYBL! 000003 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 71153 20110817151158.366 CONDUIT 004 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/5 - HYBL! 000004 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 70768 20110817151158.366 CONDUIT 005 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/6 - HYBL! 000005 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 70411 20110817151158.370 CONDUIT 006 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/7 - HYBL! 000006 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 69979 20110817151158.371 CONDUIT 007 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/8 - HYBL! 000007 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 69529 20110817151158.371 CONDUIT 008 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/9 - HYBL! 000008 Aug 17 15:12:01 notifyme[20306] INFO: 69129 20110817151158.372 CONDUIT 009 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/10 - HYBL! 000009 Aug 17 15:12:02 notifyme[20306] INFO: 68675 20110817151158.378 CONDUIT 010 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/11 - HYBL! 000010 Aug 17 15:12:02 notifyme[20306] INFO: 68195 20110817151158.378 CONDUIT 011 data/nccf/com/ruc/prod/ruc2a.20110817/ruc2.t14z.bgrb20f18.grib2 !grib2/ncep/RUC2/#000/201108171400F018/PRES/12 - HYBL! 000011 ... These are not, however, FireWx products... presumably, you added the FireWx products into the mix of model output that is being inserted into the LDM queue on 140.90.33.32? re: > From our gribinsert log it appears that we are successfully sending > firewx fields to the broken-out CONDUIT box, but until someone receives > data from it I can't be sure. It would be most useful for testing if my Unidata workstation could be ALLOWed to REQUEST CONDUIT data from 140.90.33.32. My workstation is: gale.unidata.ucar.edu 128.117.156.80 re: > Becky is going to ask the developers about the GEMPAK questions you had. OK, thanks. The just of my questions was to find out if _ALL_ of the FireWX fields are being correctly decoded into GEMPAK grids. If they are, it should mean that the GRIB/GRIB2 tables used in the decoding contain the information for all of the fields in the FireWX products. re: > Thanks again for working on this. No worries.
