Re: 20010510: Seakeepers Data

Linda,

It sounds like you found the right dataset: thanks!  I will have Ed Kearns
get the appropriate requests off to Julie Hayes ASAP.

We will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks again for your help.

Otis

|Hi Otis,
|
|I've got information for you and I hope it is in reference to the same dataset 
|that you were discussing yesterday.
|
|Walter Smith, (301) 713-0864 x 139 at NWS, Silver Spring, said he had talked 
|with Dr. Kerns (sp?) at the University of Miami who was asking about making 
the 
|Seakeepers dataset available.  Hopefully you know him.  Anyway, the Seakeepers 
|data are now being routed to NCEP (in Camp Springs) from the NWSTG (in Silver 
|Spring) and to the National Data Buoy Center (Stennis Space Center 
|Mississippi).  The WMO headers are:
|
|SMVX80KWUM
|SOVX80KWUM
|
|What is needed now is a request to make the data available through NOAAPORT 
and 
|the NWSTG.  That request indicating the data type with the WMO headers should 
|be made to:
|
|Julie Hayes
|NWS HQTR  Route:  W/OPS32
|BLDG: SSMC2  RM: 5322
|1325 EAST WEST HWY
|SILVER SPRING MD 20910-3283
|PH: (301)713-0864 x120
|Internet Address: address@hidden
|
|An email request should be sufficient.  In this case, I think I would cc 
Walter 
|Smith.  The way this works is Julie receives the request and she informs 
Walter 
|that the data need to be added.

|I asked if one request from a university was sufficient and Walter indicated 
it 
|would be, but if you need additional support, Unidata can certainly help 
|reinforce the need/request.  Also, I think it would be great to announce the 
|data to the Unidata community when it becomes available.  Perhaps you could 
|consider writing up a brief announcement about the dataset.
|
|If I'm totally off-base regarding the dataset that I've pursued, please let me 
|know.
|
|Best to you!
