20030422:NOAA-GEMPAK-NEXRAD-pqact.conf-ldmd.conf

David,

pqact.conf entry:

NEXRAD  ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N0.)(...)
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3


and if you want other prods:

NEXRAD  ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N1P)(...)
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3


NEXRAD  ^SDUS[2357]. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N[A-Z].)(...)
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/nexrad/NIDS/\5/\4/\4_(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

Please keep in mind..no spaces, only tabs, in pqact.conf!

These are more robust than you need, but you may change your desires in
the future and then no changes to the pqact.conf would be needed :)

ldmd.conf entry:

request NNEXRAD "/p(N0R)(CYS|PUX|FTG|GLD)" blizzard.al.noaa.gov

And you should have got this confirmation from Hsie:

"brainiac.etl.noaa.gov" is allowed to feed NEXRAD from
"blizzard.al.noaa.gov (140.172.240.167)".

Hopefully this will get data flowing to you..scripts for plotting radar
will follow, I have a meeting at 3:00..and some prep for that, so if not
before 3, after 5 or first thing tomorrow..

Thank you,

-Jeff
