Hi Greg, re: > Sorry for the lack of details. I was using RTNEXRAD/N0Q ID=FTG which > grew stale after about 12:13 Z yesterday morning. OK. I checked the RTNEXRAD/N0Q dataset on adde.ucar.edu yesterday right after seeing this note, and everything looked up to date then. re: > I tried using RTNEXRAD on the following: > > > Query: imglist RTNEXRAD/N0Q.-10 ID=FTG > weather2.admin.niu.edu - data seemed about 20 min behind > weather3.admin.niu.edu - no images found that meet criteria > tornado.geos.ulm.edu - could not resolve TORNADO.GOES.ULM.EDU. Entry not > filed. > adde.cise-nsf.gov - no images found that meet criteria Because of your observations, I made the first of what will likely be a series of changes to the Publically Accessible ADDE servers page in the McIDAS portion of our website: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/adde_servers.html As you will see, my first step was to organize the ADDE servers listed into three groups: Unidata, Institutional and Community. The second step was to remove any entries that were known to be out of date. The next step, which will take time, will be to work with the folks hosting ADDE servers to see if help is needed to make sure that things are running correctly and datasets are up to date.
