[McIDAS #GTQ-654343]: Re: 20100219: Inquiry 14708 updated (cont.)

Hi Barry and Kevin,


re: ADDE dataset naming for Level III and TDWR products

I adopted the use of N0R, N1R, etc. since it made defining the datasets
with DSSERVE very easy.  Also, since it tracks how the Weather Service
talks about the products, my users _should_ not get confused.

re:

I have attached a McIDAS BATCH file that defines all of the Nexrad Level III
(group RTNEXRAD) and TDWR (group RTTDWR) datasets in Unidata McIDAS.

Cheers,

Tom

REM ? NEXRADDE.BAT - Define ADDE server locations for Learning Guide data sets
REM ?
REM ? File:       NEXRADDE.BAT
REM ?
REM ? Purpose:    Define ADDE server locations for NEXRAD Level III image 
products
REM ?
REM ? Invocation: BATCH NEXRADDE.BAT
REM ?
REM ? Notes:      If you want to setup serving of the NEXRAD Level III products
REM ?             you need to:
REM ?
REM ?             - setup ingestion of the NNEXRAD datafeed in the LDM
REM ?
REM ?             - run the McIDAS BATCH file NEXRADDE.BAT:
REM ?
REM ?               BATCH NEXRADDE.BAT
REM ?
REM ?               from the McIDAS Command and TEXT window, or add the entries
REM ?               below to the file ~mcidas/data/LSSERVE.BAT (along with other
REM ?               dataset definitions) and eventually run:

REM                         NxQ, NxU, DVL, EET
REM            20100208 - Added definitions for TDWR products TRx, TVx, TZL
REM            20100209 - Changed group for TDWR to RTTDWR because set of
REM                         stations is different from RTNEXRAD
REM            20100221 - Added definitions for remaining TDWR datasts:
REM                         N1P, NTP, NCR, NET, NVL, DHR
REM            20100224 - Added definitions for RTNEXRAD and RTTDWR datasets:
