FT19/NOGAPS/FNMOC Feedtype


Feedtype FT19 is currently allocated to FNMOC's Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE) server. This feedtype also has the alias "NOGAPS". Additionally, the newly introduced alias "FNMOC", is available in LDM version 5.1.4 or greater. This latter alias was introduced as we became aware that FNMOC would be providing more than one data stream.

FNMOC currently provides two data streams via Unidata's Internet Data Distribution (IDD) network under the FNMOC feedtype: the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) stream and the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) stream.

Below are some example pqact.conf entries showing showing patterns that specify this data and differentiate the two streams. Although both product IDs start with US058, the NOGAPS data uses model ID 0058, while the COAMPS models are 0027, 0041, 0060, 0083, and 0082. Note that the second pattern simply files any non-0058 model as COAMPS data.
