Hi Jim,

>atm.geo.nsf.gov seems to be alive.

I just logged onto atm.geo.nsf.gov to check to see if anything was
wrong by checking in the receipt of the 1 km N0R national composites
and found that they were coming in OK.  I then took a look at the real
time statistics pages for pscwx and saw that it is requesting the data
from unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu.

It appears like some consolidation I was making in the request lines on
unidata2 this morning accidentally left out the FNEXRAD feed, so your
outage was caused by me.  I just corrected the mistake and the images
are once again flowing into unidata2.

You can recover the images you missed from the short term "archives' on
motherlode.ucar.edu:

The composites you missed are available in the RADAR/* subdirectories
of the daily archive directories:

The access information you will need to grab the images is:

user: unidata
pass: lotzodata

I sincerely apologize for my screw-up!

Cheers,

Tom
