Hi Minna, re: > It appears that the FIP data is a WMO + HDS feedtype: > > May 01 19:16:41 pqutil INFO: 15060 20120501191640.559 HDS > 28029149 YAXA43 KKCI 011900 /mAWC_CIP > !grib/ncep/AWC_CIP/#252/201205011900/F000/SIPD/ > 6705 m above MSL/ Hmm. I would not have expected that the HDS feed would be impacted by the RUC2 -> RAP transition that occurred today. I could be wrong, however. Question: - is this the first time that you have noticed data gaps like this? re: > The CIP/FIP data is derived from the RAP model, so it is highly likely > that the host that is generating the FIP data from NCEP (or wherever) > may have issues. Perhaps. I will send a note back to a contact in NOAA to see if they can shed some light on this. re: > Thanks for your help, this is affecting a lot of our plots and we have > end-users that rely on our FIP graphics, so the absence of this data has > a domino effect. I understand. I will let you know what our NOAA contact has to say about this...
