Hi John, The NEXRAD2 data arrives in pieces on the IDD and it needs to have the first piece first or the decoding process get confused. When the ending piece arrives, a script called util/hhmmssRadarII.pl creates the product or discards it because the first piece is missing. I'll attach the script but it needs to be configured, the directions are included in the first part of the script and it needs to be done as user ldm. Make sure the ~/logs/radar, <data>/radar/badLevel2/maintenance and <data>/radar/badLevel2/piece1missing directories exists. Also attached hhmmssreportRadarII.pl script that makes a daily report on the reception of the products, it also needs to be configured; run it with the -m flag to get the manpage first. I'll attach the pact the we use on the motherlode machine to manage the products. It's called pqact.threddsradar. The NEXRAD2 feedtype probably should be changed to CRAFT in the ldmd.conf file. crontab entry, should run in 0Z hour 15 m 15 19 * * * util/hhmmssreportRadarII.pl -r 2>&1 Attached is yesterday radar reception report too. I know the process sounds complicated but this was the best solution we found to get usable products. I would download sample radar products from motherlode.ucar.edu/thredds to test your programs as a first step. Robb...
