Hi Max, re: > we have been acquiring madis data via ldm for a number of years and are > now having problems -- do you know of any changes that we have missed? I believe that the NOAA upstream LDM machine that end-users need to REQUEST from changed some time ago. After some digging through emails that Unidata User Support has received, I found the following message that should be pertinent: >> address@hidden> wrote: >> >>> All, >>> >>> MADIS-GSD will have a building power outage February 21 2015.

I hope that the above helped! By the way, the LDM access to the MADIS data was a recent topic of discussion on the address@hidden email list that we maintain. If you are not subscribed to ldm-users, you probably missed the chatter about MADIS.
