Hi Don, re: > I tried running an old bundle of mine for the Antarctic and didn't get > any satellite imagery. Looking at RTIMAGES, it looks like the Antarctic > IR and WV sectors stopped updating in April. The visible is up to date. > Is this dataset dead, or just not updating? The problem is that the insertion of the Antarctic WV and IR images for hours other than 0Z is being rejected with the comment that the products are already in the LDM queue. I contacted AMRC about this some time ago, and Matthew said that he didn't think that there was a problem on their end. I just did a check of the archived images for today on the Amazon EC2 instance where the UNIWISC products are being generated, and the set looks complete: DATALOC ADD UNIARC 54.212.113.87 IMGLIST UNIARC/ANTARCTICIR.ALL DAY=297 Image file directory listing for:UNIARC/ANTARCTICIR Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Band(s) sensor Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ------------ 1 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 00:00:00 -90 5 4 2 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 01:00:00 -90 5 4 3 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 02:00:00 -90 5 4 4 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 03:00:00 -90 5 4 5 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 04:00:00 -90 5 4 6 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 05:00:00 -90 5 4 7 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 06:00:00 -90 5 4 8 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 07:00:00 -90 5 4 9 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 08:00:00 -90 5 4 10 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 09:00:00 -90 5 4 11 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 10:00:00 -90 5 4 12 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 11:00:00 -90 5 4 13 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 12:00:00 -90 5 4 14 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 13:00:00 -90 5 4 15 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 14:00:00 -90 5 4 16 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 15:00:00 -90 5 4 17 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 16:00:00 -90 5 4 18 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 17:00:00 -90 5 4 19 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 18:00:00 -90 5 4 IMGLIST: done IMGLIST UNIARC/ANTARCTICWV.ALL DAY=297 Image file directory listing for:UNIARC/ANTARCTICWV Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Band(s) sensor Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ------------ 1 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 00:00:00 -90 5 3 2 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 03:00:00 -90 5 3 3 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 06:00:00 -90 5 3 4 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 09:00:00 -90 5 3 5 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 12:00:00 -90 5 3 6 G-9 IMG 24 OCT 14297 15:00:00 -90 5 3 IMGLIST: done This says that the images are, in fact, different from one time to the next, so their rejected insertion into the LDM queue is a mystery. Just so you know, this issue bubbled back up towards the top of my ToDo list on Wednesday while I was backfilling the Unidata-Wisconsin archive at SSEC (idd.ssec.wisc.edu) which was not complete because of an LDM hiccup on the 19th and 20th. Hopefully, I can figure this one out this weekend...
