Hi Kevin, Yes, it looks as it should. It appears as if during this "snapshot" the data was arriving late. Sep 23 16:31:30 pqutil ---> 20030923155447.490 is indicating ~36 minutes of latency. However, currently it appears as if all the data is arriving in seconds.. Please see: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/chiz/rtstats/siteindex.shtml?westerly.badc.rl.ac.uk For real time stats on latency, volume, etc.... The sawtouth jumps indicate clock re-sets/drift..are you using NTP? Let me know when you are ready to ingest the CONDUIT (NCEPH) high res model output.
