The THREDDS data server is now running on our "operational" port: http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/ In case you have gotten used to using port 8088, that will continue to be our "development" server, and it will go up and down as needed (its down at the moment). So from now on, use 8080 when you want the stable version, 8088 only for for testing the latest snapshot.
