Hi Chris, 

OK, sounds like you want to go the IDD/LDM route. As mentioned earlier, we will now contact some of our university sites near your locale to see if they would be willing to establish a feed to you. There is NO guarantee that one will be willing, we will give it good effort. The university would offer its bandwidth and support for your feed(s). We encourage science and research, so I hope we can find a willing site.

FYI- there is only about a 1-5 minute difference (depending upon processing, etc) from access via a THREDDS catalog vs getting it pushed via IDD.

Note:

MacOS-X 10.5 is the same OS that is causing serious
problems at some of our sies and has been verified here at the Unidata Program Center
-- the LDM will run fine for awhile and then stop ingesting data for some unknown reason.
A site representative was recruited into the MacOS-X 10.5 investigations because he has
direct input to Apple developers on problems he finds.

Unidata has actually refrained from releasing LDM-6.7.0 until a fix/workaround is developed
by Apple.

We suspect you may likely suffer the same problems as are
being experienced by others and us.

MacOS-X 10.4 (Panther) did _not_ exhibit the problem that is being seen on MacOS-X 10.5.


Cheers,

Jeff Weber
