Hi Mike, re: > I was fooled as usual: > > This is how I'm getting GOES-15 on titan, where I see I have data: > request NIMAGE "satz" iddb.unidata.ucar.edu OK. You do realize that this REQUEST is _not_ for imagery in the UNIWISC feed, correct? Your inquiry said: "Goes-15 imagery stopped coming through UNIWISC feed" The real-time stats links I sent you were all for the UNIWISC feed. I did, however, check to make sure that the GOES-15 GINI imagery that originates in NOAAPort have been available over the past couple of days. re: > E.G. "satz/ch2/GOES-15/3.9/20190925 1645/WEST-CONUS/4km/ > > But on vulcan I have: > > [ldm@vulcan etc]$ more ldmd.conf | grep UNIWISC > request UNIWISC ".*" idd.unidata.ucar.edu > > and no satz: > [ldm@vulcan etc]$ more ldmd.conf | grep NIMAGE > (removed exec entries) > REQUEST NIMAGE "GOES" idd.unidata.ucar.edu The regular expression "GOES" will match all of the imagery available in the revamped NIMAGE feed, and that includes GOES-16, GOES-17 and the GOES-15 imagery in GINI format: Example Product IDs: GINI satz/ch2/GOES-15/IR/20190925 1745/AK-NATIONAL/8km/ TIGB02 KNES 251745 netCDF4 /data/ldm/pub/native/satellite/GOES/GOES17/Products/CloudAndMoistureImagery/Mesoscale-2/Channel09/20190925/OR_ABI-L2-CMIPM2-M6C09_G17_s20192681817570_e20192681817570_c20192681817570.nc re: > Our systems restarted on Friday 9/20/2019, so I suspect there were edits to > ldmd.conf that had never been implemented. Hmm still a bit of a head > scratcher, because for sure the Goes-15 data was coming in on vulcan. Vulcan is receiving all of the NIMAGE imagery while titan is only receiving the GINI imagery: vulcan NIMAGE volume http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?NIMAGE+vulcan.science.sjsu.edu titan NIMAGE volume http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_vol_nc?NIMAGE+titan.met.sjsu.edu The REQUEST for NIMAGE imagery on titan was scaled back to the original NIMAGE content mainly since titan's LDM queue is not large enough. Speaking of memory for titan... We really have to apologize for not sending you the spare memory we have. Our tardiness basically boils down to being overloaded and from the original intent to put the memory into a machine to test it before we ship it. Mike and I just talked about the need to test, and we decided to leave that decision up to you. So: - are you OK with us sending you memory without testing? NB: it was all working when removed from machines, but that was some time ago, so there is a possibility that one or more DIMMs will not work OR - do you want us to test the memory before we send it? Again, many apologies for the delay! Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
