Hi,

We hadn't noticed that our LDM feed of the TTU value-added GLM L2 products
had stopped, thanks for reporting it!

Apparently there was a firewall/security perimeter change made at TTU that
is preventing our LDM REQUEST for their products.  We contacted TTU to see
if they can get the situation remedied after seeing your inquiry.

NB:

The TTU GLM L2 products have been created and shared under a grant that
will soon expire.  After the monies run out, these products will no longer
be generated, so they will disappear from the IDD and our TDS instances
since they are fed from the IDD.  We have been working on replacing the
TTU GLM products with VLAB GLM products that NOAA is generating in AWS.
We are hoping that these replacements (which are all full disk, but only
have 3 of the fields that the TTU ones have) will be ready for general
distribution in the IDD _soon_.

Cheers,

Tom
