Hi Russ, Good meeting, thanks for participating! > Hello! > > I was wondering if you could send along some sample pqact entries to install > into our LDM so we can update a few data feeds: > > 1) the 2.5-km RTMA (we're currently getting the 5-km grid via this entry, > and would like something similar for the 2.5-km grid if possible:) > > ### real-time mesoscale analysis (RTMA) (only temp, dewpoint, winds) > NGRID > RTMA/#197/([12][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([01][0-9])([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9]).*/(TMPK/|DWPK/|UREL/|VREL/) > FILE /space/data/ldm/model/rtma/rtma.\1\2\3\4\5.grb2 NOTE: Russ, these are how we have them on motherlode, your paths will likely be different. # NGRID ^[LM].I...
