I have been waiting for you to re-initiate an IDD feed at CICESE!

To begin with, please direct your feed requests to the IDD node at UCSD:

aeolus.ucsd.edu

Aeolus is setup to relay a large fraction of the unrestricted data available in
the IDD. The NOGAPS feed, however, is one for which you will need to get a 
point-to-point
feed from FNMOC.  We will send an email to the LDM site administrator at FNMOC 
to see if
your machine can been allowed for this data.

You can see the feeds that it supports in realtime statistics displays as 
follows:

      aeolus.ucsd.edu
      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex?aeolus.ucsd.edu

To see what fraction of any particular feed that aeolus is receiving, compare
a 'volume' plot for a particular feed (the 'volume' link in the last page 
above) with
a 'volume' plot for the toplevel IDD server maintained by Unidata in Boulder, 
CO:

idd.unidata.ucar.edu
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex?idd.unidata.ucar.edu

Please let us know if you are/are not successful in feeding from 
aeolus.ucsd.edu.
The first step in this process would be to use the LDM utilities 'ldmping' and
'notifyme' to see if you can reach aeolus and if it will allow your feed 
requests:

<as 'ldm' on  calafia.cicese.mx>
cd ~ldm
ldmping aeolus.ucsd.edu
notifyme -vxl- -h aeolus.ucsd.edu

Cheers,

Tom
