[Support #ZQO-437545]: request for IDD connection



Hi Mallory, 

NIMAGE is now available from aeolus.ucsd.edu

Feel free to begin requesting any NIMAGE products.

We would like to request a subset of the CONDUIT feed so we do not consume
bandwidth unnecessarily.

i.e. is there a specific model you are desirous of in the CONDUIT feed?

Please see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/index.html

Cheers,


Jeff Weber
