Hi Carissa and Becky, Sorry for the tardy response... we were celebrating getting word that our 5 year proposal to NSF is being funded! re: > I can be more clear.

The statistics reports are generated in memory each minute and then sent to rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu using the 'send' protocol (e.g., ldmsend; transmissions are out of band meaning that they are not requested by rtstats). The total volume for an individual site should certainly be less than about 1 MB/hour (and probably be MUCH less); but I could not swear to this in a court of law :-) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
