Hiya, Because of the changes in the MRF model ID's, a LDM release ldm-5.0.10 is now available in source and binary. The binary is for: SunOS desi.unidata.ucar.edu 5.7 Generic_106542-10 i86pc i386 i86pc These are available at UPC ftp: ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu for source. cd pub/ldm5/ get ldm-5.0.10.tar.Z or for binary cd pub/binary/sunos_5.7-i86pc get ldm-5.0.10.tar.Z Thanks, Robb... =============================================================================== Robb Kambic Unidata Program Center Software Engineer III Univ.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the NOAAport ingest sites didn't account for the model ID changes that went into effect today. Is that correct? Or is there a change to my pqact.conf that needs to be made to account for the difference? I looked in the pqing source (ldm 5.0.9), and in wmo_message.c, the original numbers are there, but not the new 94/96 numbers. case 80: return "SPEC62MRF"; case 81: return "SSIAVN"; case 82: return "SSI"; case 83: return "ETA"; case 84: return "ETA40"; case 85: return "ETA30"; case 86: return "RUC"; case 87: return "ENSMB"; case 88: return "PWAV"; case 89: return "ETA48"; /* * ECMF entries seem quite volatile. * Really should be in different table. */ case 121: return "ECMF"; case 131: return "ECMF"; case 132: return "ECMF"; case 141: return "ECMF"; Here is the info from the change notice: For the AVN: NOXX10 KWBC 091746 DATA MGT MESSAGE 05-00.01 EFFECTIVE MAY 16 2000 /DRG2484/ ON THE ABOVE EFFECTIVE DATE THE FOLLOWING AWIPS GRIB GRIDS PRODUCED FROM THE AVN FOR FORECAST HOURS 78 TO 120 IN 6 HOUR HOUR TIME STEPS WILL BE ADDED TO THE AWIPS/NOAAPORT DATASTREAM. IN ADDITION OCTET 6 OF GRIB PRODUCT DEFINITION SECTION IS BEING CHANGED TO GENERIC VALUE 96 FOR FORECAST HOURS 00-120. HOWEVER THE GENERATING MODEL ID NUMBER FOR THE ANALYSIS FROM THE AVN RUN WILL REMAIN 81. For the MRF: SUBJECT MRF MODEL ID NUMBER CHANGE EFFECTIVE DATE MAY 16... 2000 /DRG2485/ ON THE ABOVE EFFECTIVE DATE... THE GENERATING MODEL ID NUMBER IN THE GRIB PRODUCT DEFINITION SECTION /PDS/ FOR THE MRF T170L42 WILL CHANGE FROM 78 TO 94. THE OCTET 6 OF THE GRIB PDS...
