20041021: nnexrad autogif

Patrick,

Jeff Weber provided me with the login to your LDM machine.

In terms of creating GIFs of NEXRAD products, you should not
try to create a gif for every radar site and radar product,
which is what you currently see in pqact.conf:
# make some nids gifs
#NEXRAD ^SDUS5. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(...)(...)
#       EXEC    util/NEXRAD_gif.csh \5 \4 (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3


The EXEC script is useful creating GIFS of certain routinely
accessed products such as I do for the N0R and N0V products from
FTG, as:
# make some nids gifs
NEXRAD  SDUS5. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-6][0-9]).*/p(N0[RV])(FTG)
        EXEC    util/NEXRAD_gif.csh \5 \4 (\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2\3

If your goal is to serve up all the radar data as images for a web page, 
such as I have done at:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/unidata/images/nids

Then you are best served by a cgi that will generate the image on the fly
using a cgi wrapper to radmap_sw.


Now, as to why you aren't getting any GIF images, I found that you have not 
configured your Gemenviron location for your data.

Your /home/gempak/nawips/Gemenviron specifies GEMDATA as the location
I use here which is /data/ldm/gempak. However, you don't have this
tree on your system. So, the NEXRAD_gif.csh script sets:
RADFIL   = \$RAD/NIDS/${SITE}/${TYPE}/${FILENAME}

The $RAD variable is defined in Gemenviron as $GEMDATA/nexrad,
and since you have not defined GEMDATA for your installation, the
script will not be able to find the input data file.
