Hi Bill,

OK, gotcha.

OK.

So, it may be quite easy for you to change from the old RTGRIDS datasets to
the new RTGRIBS datasets. If you are game, I would ask you to make a
copy of one of your scripts and make the change to test things out:
change:
- ADDE group from RTGRIDS -> RTGRIBS
- GFS -> GFS-ALL
- NAM -> NAM-ALL
etc.
- add DATALOC for RTGRIB server: idd.unl.edu, adde.cise-nsf.gov, or
stratus.al.noaa.gov:
DATALOC ADD RTGRIBS IDD.UNL.EDU
Everything else should work the same. After all, it is the same model data
that is being ingested and processed. The only difference is how the
data is being processed; the group name of the ADDE server that hosts the
data; and the partitioning of the data into datasets.
For comparison, in the "old" (v2006 and previous) way of putting fields
into datasets, there were:
DSINFO GRID RTGRIDS
Dataset Names of Type: GRID in Group: RTGRIDS
Name NumPos Content
------------ ------ --------------------------------------
ALL 1310 Real-Time Grids
ECMWF 10 Real-Time ECMWF Grids
GFS 300 Real-Time GFS/AVN Grids
MDR 10 Real-Time MDR Grids
MISC 10 Other Real-Time Grids
NAM 120 Real-Time ETA Grids
NGM 40 Real-Time NGM Grids
RUC 80 Real-Time RUC Grids
UKMT 110 Real-Time UK Met Grids
DSINFO -- done
With the GRIB filer method (using a MySQL database), this has changed to:
DATALOC ADD RTGRIBS IDD.UNL.EDU
Group Name Server IP Address
-------------------- ----------------------------------------
RTGRIBS IDD.UNL.EDU
<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.

Notice that in the new scheme, there is always an all-inclusive set of any
type of data: ALL, GFS-ALL, RUC-ALL, NAM-ALL, etc. These sets _should_
correspond 1-to-1 with the old RTGRIDS sets: ALL, GFS, RUC, NAM, etc.
> Thanks again, and sorry for all the hassle.
You are welcome, and this is not a hassle (outside of finding and fixing
a bug).
Cheers,
Tom
