Hi Pete, re: > Will the path leading up to the file name stay the same? i.e. the > > data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.2015010512/ > > part? Everything we've heard from NCEP suggests that the only change is to the portion of the Product ID that contains the 'pgrb' clause. The thing that is unknown to us is whether or not the 2.5 deg fields will be available for all time steps, or if they will continue to just be for time steps >= 204 hours. re: > I've got that coded into my pqact lines too. For example, > > CONDUIT > data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.20([0-9][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([0-9][0-9])../gfs.t(..)z.pgrbf([0-9][0-9]).grib2\ > !grib2.* > FILE /data/grib2/gblav.\1\2\3\4_F0\5 I believe that you will only need to focus on the 'gfs.t(..)z.pgrbf([0-9][0-9]).grib2' portion of your extended regular expression. NB: - make a backup copy of your pattern-action file(s) before making any changes - replicate the action(s) in each pattern-action file and make changes in the replicated action(s) By the way, we have been testing LDM delivery of the 0.25 deg GFS global fields. This test allows us to see what the new Product IDs should look like. Here is one example: Jan 05 18:48:54 notifyme[20541] INFO: 398190 20150105164856.825 CONDUIT 358 data/nccf/com/gfs/para/gfs.2015010512/gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p25.f240 !grib2/ncep/GFS/#000/201501051200F240/UREL/-2 K*m**2*kg-1*s-1 POTV! 000358 This example (extracted out of a 1.4 GB log of test CONDUIT relay) suggests that the portion of the Product ID that you are asking about above will not change. We will know for sure tomorrow :-) While we have your attention focused on CONDUIT... Questions: - what is your position on replacing the 0.5 deg GFS in the currently constituted CONDUIT datastream with the 0.25 deg GFS? - will your IDD relay machine be able to handle the 0.25 deg GFS data? Our experience is that the 0.25 deg GFS volume is on the order of 20 GB for each run. What is the current size of your relay machine's LDM queue, and can it be increased? re: > Thanks! No worries.
