[Datastream #WJH-378822]: WSI nowrad from wsihcsn

["Unidata Datastream Support" <support-datastream@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Tim,

Here is the situation:

The Nowrad data is not currently being ingested.  The reason is that we tried
to update the _very_ old OS installation on the machine running the WSI code
so as to be able to install needed security patches.  We have been unsuccessful
in this upgrade, and the WSI driver does not work under newer versions of
SunOS.  There has been quite a bit of information exchanged among the groups
that were using the WSI data (of which Unidata is _not_ one) about what to do next.

I am attaching the latest exchange that I was CCed on to give you a flavor of
the current state of affairs/thinking.

There is none yet.

Since the data is not currently being received, there is no other machine
to request the data from.  As for if we paid our WSI bill, we (Unidata)
are not involved in this side of things, so I wouldn't know directly (but
I am sure that the bill was paid) :-)

Cheers,

Tom
