Re: Sunset problems

Pete,

Is this why I haven't received and McIDAS AREA file satellite images,
since ~02/04Z?

Jim,

Possibly. I did actually drive in last night to once again
reboot sunset, about 06:30 UTC, and built ldm 5.1.2, which
has been running since then. I've been getting data including
the MCIDAS area files since then, but I do see a lot of
failed connect attempts from these two machines.. is one of
these yours?

I don't know if this is something relating to the ldm upgrade
or not.  Has anyone else had problems feeding downstream sites
after upgrading to 5.1.2?  I've got several other ldm 5.0.xx machines
feeding from sunset here locally with no problems.

What do the logs look like on your end?

Pete,

I get my mcidas feeds from uiuc or umich. I've tried both and still no
new data from either feed.

Neither one of those other machines are mine.

Thanks.

Jim,

 We seem to have all our MCIDAS files and no errors in
feeding from SSEC have been reported.  You don't seem to be
feeding frm us at the moment.

David et al.,

I see the png2area files, but I don't see the uncompressed area files. I
thought that they were still going to be transmitted until 15 Sep 00. I
haven't updated my ldm-mcidas yet to handle the png files. If my upstream
sites do not use the old format files, does that mean downstream sites won't
get the data?

Jim,

We are still receiving both. If however, your upstream only is
requesting the new format from it's upstream, that's all it will have
so you'll never see the LWTOA3 format files.

It is definitely possible that your upstream is doing just that; I've
got one site I'm feeding that is requesting only the pnga2area format:

If you'd like to use UW-Madison AOS (sunset.meteor.wisc.edu) as a 
feed for old format McIDAS data until Sept 15th you're welcome to.
Just let me know what host to add to my allow list.

Here's a short sample of ldmadmin watch -f mcidas on sunset:

Pete,

Thanks. My upstream sites must have stopped requesting the LWTOA3 format files 
starting last night, since I stopped getting
any new data after 02/04Z.  I went ahead and put on the new ldm-mcidas and 
started ingesting the png2area files and now I
seem to be getting McIDAS satellite area files once again. Oh well, it's sooner 
than I planned, but it's done!

I have full NOAAPORT data, but the 4km imagery doesn't extend very far from 
CONUS. For those regions, I have to use 8-km
data which doesn't zoom very well.
