Hi Dan: 1) can you redo this with "ls -l" to get time, size and ownership? can restrict to *grb* 2) I see some .grb2 in some directories, not sure what they are: ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb.gbx9 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.grb.ncx ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.idx ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_3_20071130_1800_006.inv ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_000.grb2 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_003.grb2 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1200_006.grb2 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_000.grb2 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_003.grb2 ./200711/20071130/gfsanl_4_20071130_1800_006.grb2 3) the gbx9 and ncx files are the cdm index files. But you have <GribIndex> <alwaysUse>true</alwaysUse> <dir>/home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex</dir> <policy>nestedDirectory</policy> <scour>48 hours</scour> <maxAge>90 days</maxAge> </GribIndex> so these will go into /home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex/ if you are sure this is what you want to do, for sure delete the gbx9 and ncx files in the data dirs. 4) i need a file listing on /home/tomcat/tomcat-main.4.3.14/content/thredds/cache/GribIndex/ 5) we might want to get this working on just one month first. > John, > Assuming you want the source GRIB files, you can > get them here: > > wget -r http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gfsanl/201001/20100104/ > > For a complete find file list from the top level (nexus/gfsanl): > > http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gfsanl/findlist.txt.bz2 > > I immediately noticed : gfsanl_3_20040302_0000_000.grb.ncx > and the like...
