Hi Becky, re: > I agree with Tom's explanation. Tom Y, we should be up to only new data > now so if you see it continue let us know. Yup, Tom P gave me a call (nice!) to explain what happened "in person". I have been eyeballing the CONDUIT volume plots, and it looks like the volumes have returned to normal. re: > But this is a good thing for us to keep in mind.

My initial reaction was exactly like yours: it would be better to dump the old runs in favor of the new. Now that I have had some time to ponder this further, I am uncertain of what our users would want. In a situation like today's, I still think that it is a no-brainer to not send backlogged data mainly since the data had already been delivered by other toplevel machines. In the case where none of the data had been sent, I wonder what the end-users would prefer: - dump the data in favor of new - get the new data then the old data - get all of the data in the temporal sequence that it should have been in One thing to keep in mind is that it is most likely that no all of the old data actually made it out of the LDM queue on ncep-ldm0. The reason I say this is that the queue is not nearly big enough to handle all of the data that should have gotten dumped to it since the rate of insertion of products into the queue is not throttled (or is it?). Anyway, all's well that ends well :-) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
